Dr. Alfa stated that while he has allowed stakeholders the space to guide the direction of the party, the step taken to pick the nomination forms is necessary to move the process forward in line with his commitment to serve the people. He further assured that he would abide by the outcome of the party’s primary election, stressing his commitment to party supremacy whether he emerges as the APC candidate or not.
Addressing the people of Kogi East, Dr. Alfa maintained that his message remains unchanged, emphasising that his aspiration is centred on delivering real results, restoring confidence in leadership, and ensuring that the district has a strong voice in national affairs.
He also expressed appreciation to key leaders and stakeholders who have supported his journey over the past months, including the Vice President, Alhaji Kashim Shettima GCON, his mother and political guide Hajiya Halima Ikwuji Alfa, as well as prominent national figures such as Hajiya Hadiza Bala Usman, Hajiya Aisha Buhari, General Theophilus Danjuma, and General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida.
Dr. Alfa stressed that his vision goes beyond campaign promises, noting that his commitment to development and service extends beyond the senatorial race.
“Everything I have said I will do still stands. This vision goes beyond promises. It does not start and end with this election. It is about a bigger dream that must be realised for the good of our people,” he said.
He concluded by reaffirming his readiness to serve and his determination to contribute meaningfully to the progress of Kogi East.
