Ukomu Igala Organisation in collaboration with other stakeholders and frontline Igala sociocultural groups – HRM Advisory Council, Kogi East Elders Council, Igala Elders Consultative Forum, Ojuju Agbadufu and Igala Bassa Re & D Initiative – have endorsed Abdullahi Haruna SAN as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate for this weekend’s primary election in Kogi State.

The group, after due consultations, interaction and interviews, also recommend Murtala Yakubu Ajaka for the All Progressives Congress (APC). Others recommended are Dr Sam Omale of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), Mr J. Elukpo of Action Democratic Party (ADP) and Dr Vincent Enemona of Labour Party (LP).
