Why Candidates of Major Political Parties in Kogi Are Shopping For Traditional Rulers.

The governorship election in Kogi state is just around the corner and what matters to most candidates at this time is the traditional rulers.

Although they won't be casting their votes at polling stations, who they choose as their preferred candidate matters at this point.

When Governor Yahaya Bello was planning to launch his second term bid he ensured that he arranged a meeting with President Buhari which had the traditional ruler of the dominant Kogi east (Igala king) in attendance among others.

The delegation probably placated the All Progressives Congress to forgive Bello all his trespasses and anoint him for a second term in office. Many had feared that Governor Bello could get the Ambode treatment.

Mindful of this fact, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate Engr Musa Wada has also visited the palace of the Maigari of Lokoja shortly after officially flagging off his campaign.

The presence of Senator Dino Melaye in the delegation at the Maigeri’s palace was also well appreciated by PDP faithful. It is generally believed that in the coming days only the traditional rulers can help change the game against or in favor of any of the candidates.
