The recent strategic reconciliation bringing together Senator Sunday Karimi, His Excellency Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, and the former Governor, His Excellency Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello, has been heralded as a political masterstroke and a crucial foundation for the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Chief Hon. Aiyenale Fred Jimoh, a prominent political figure and staunch advocate for party cohesion, described the development as one that “worth to be celebrated,” emphasizing its profound significance for Kogi West and the state’s political future.

Speaking passionately on the essence of the renewed unity, Chief Aiyenale Fred Jimoh asserted that the indivisibility of Kogi West is not merely preferential but a political necessity.
*”Kogi West remains the lifeline, the neck, and the thin line holding APC dominance in Kogi State and our unity of purpose,”* Chief Aiyenale Fred Jimoh stated. He warned that any attempt by politicians to introduce division into the Senatorial District would be “politically dangerous,” urging all stakeholders to guide the current unity jealously.
He made it clear that his stance is driven by political and spiritual conviction, not sycophancy. *”I am not a sycophant and never be a praise singer. I say things the way they are spiritually and politically. I have seen our unity as our only guarantee for the next elections and we should guide it jealousy.”*
*A Plea for Inclusivity and Continuity in the Senate*
Chief Aiyenale Fred Jimoh further weighed in on the issue of continuity for the Kogi West Senatorial slot, making a compelling case for the current occupant, Senator Sunday Karimi. His argument centers on fairness, inclusivity, and established rotational precedents:
* Lokoja Federal Constituency enjoyed an unbroken two-term senatorial slot during Senator Tunde Ogbeha’s era.
* Kabba/Bunu/Ijumu Federal Constituency held the slot for an unbroken three terms in the Senate (2007 to 2023).
Following this trajectory, he argued strongly against any move to truncate the tenure of the current representative. *”I see no reason why anyone or politician should be canvassing against Yagba federal constituency who are just on their first term and deserve a second term,”* he declared. *”Politics today is about inclusivity and unity. Our party has succeeded in holding and dominating Kogi State, we should be working tirelessly to continue to strengthen and consolidate on such political value. It is our national strength.”*
Chief Aiyenale Fred Jimoh concluded by reaffirming his total commitment, and that of his political associates and supporters, to the trio of leaders whose re-election is paramount for stability and progress.
*”As for me and political associates and supporters, we stand solidly firm with the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Usman Ahmed Ododo, and Senator Sunday Karimi come 2027.”*
The collective endorsement of these leaders signals a clear ‘no retreat, no surrender’ position from the powerful Kogi West block, making the party’s future victory a much clearer prospect.
