APC's Strategy Fails in Kogi East as Deputy Governor Struggles

The strategy of empowering weaker political figures in Kogi East is proving to be a significant miscalculation for the APC. The current Deputy Governor has been in office for nearly three years without establishing a visible political structure or grassroots movement to strengthen the party's influence.

As a result, there is a growing perception among the electorate that the Deputy Governor's office has diminished in political relevance, with many questioning the effectiveness of his role. The Deputy Governor has struggled to deliver votes and mobilize public opinion, leading to dissatisfaction among voters.

This decline in political influence poses a risk not only to the individual but also to the APC as a whole, as constituents feel politically abandoned. The party's ability to maintain confidence in Kogi East is in jeopardy, especially with upcoming elections, as the electorate's trust in their representation diminishes.

The situation raises concerns about the APC's future electoral success in the region.
