The allegation was contsined in a statement signed by a Chieftain of the party, Mallam Abdullahi Kabiru,
According to him, “In the past days, Atiku, according to our dependable sources has been pulling the strings with a view to ensuring that Simeon Achuba becomes Governor Yahaya Bello’s Deputy, and that this has led to massive rancour in the leadership of APC in Kogi State”.
The APC Chieftain alleged that ‘’We are conscious of Atiku Abubakar’s moves to impose on us Simeon Achuba as our next Deputy Governor, but I can assure you that we are not going to cave into that.
Again we’re also not unmindful that lots of resources have been deployed in the past few days, including millions of naira to bribe people into buying the idea of Achuba becoming the next Deputy Governor of Kogi State, but let me say with all emphasis at my disposal that all these clandestine moves shall end up in vain’’.
