APC Stakeholder in Ibaji Rejects Alleged Move to Block Ex–Deputy Governor Simon Achuba’s Return
An All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholder in Iyano Ward, Hon. Ogah Mark Okpanachi, has disowned a purported meeting in Ibaji LGA said to have produced a document seeking to stop former Kogi State Deputy Governor, Rt. Hon. Simon Achuba, from rejoining the party. In a Facebook post seen by The Bureau News, he described the attempt as “shameful and divisive.”
Names mentioned and the alleged meeting — Nigeria News Today
Okpanachi referenced the involvement of Rt. Hon. Comfort Ojoma Nwuchiola Egwaba (Deputy Speaker, Kogi State House of Assembly), the Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Security Hon. Timothy Ojoma, and Barr. Simeon Akoje, whom he accused of parading himself as Iyano Ward leader. He said the gathering was not sanctioned by “genuine leaders and stakeholders” and does not reflect the will of APC members in the ward.
Calls for unity and leadership intervention
Framing the objection within the Renewed Hope Agenda, Okpanachi urged inclusiveness and reconciliation. He appealed to Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo, APC leader in Kogi State, to caution the actors against actions he claimed could “divide and weaken” the party at the grassroots.
Open door to Igala constituency
He encouraged Igala sons and daughters across Kogi and beyond to join the APC “without fear or intimidation,” adding that the party is “not a private club for a few individuals.” He reiterated support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope policy direction and called for peace and cohesion in Ibaji.
