Kogi APC Crisis Deepens as Elders Call for Urgent Intervention
The Kogi APC crisis has intensified as elders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi State raised fresh concerns over growing divisions within the party.
The elders have called on Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the party’s National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, to urgently step in and address the situation.
⚠️ Elders Accuse Governor Ododo in Kogi APC Crisis
As part of the ongoing Kogi APC crisis, the elders accused Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo of fostering disunity among party members.

🗳️ Vote of No Confidence Move Sparks Fresh Kogi APC Crisis
The Kogi APC crisis worsened following reports of a planned vote of no confidence against Senator Sunday Steve Karimi.
Elders described the move as a “sponsored charade,” insisting that the senator still enjoys strong support from his constituents.
They also recalled a similar failed attempt earlier in 2026, which was rejected by stakeholders.
🏛️ Party Congresses Blamed for Kogi APC Crisis
Another major factor in the Kogi APC crisis is the conduct of recent party congresses in the state.
According to the elders, key stakeholders were sidelined during the process, leading to dissatisfaction among members.
They alleged that party positions were filled without proper consultation, deepening internal divisions.

The Kogi APC crisis has reportedly affected all three senatorial districts:
- Kogi East: Increasing silence and disengagement among members
- Kogi Central: Complaints of favoritism and marginalisation
- Kogi West: Rising political tension and internal disputes
The elders warned that these issues could lead to serious fragmentation within the party.
🚨 Warning Ahead of Future Elections
As the Kogi APC crisis continues, party elders have raised concerns about its potential impact on future elections.
They warned that unresolved grievances could push aggrieved members to seek alternative political platforms.
🔥 Final Thoughts
The Kogi APC crisis highlights the urgent need for reconciliation and unity within the party.
With calls for intervention growing louder, the coming weeks may determine whether the party can resolve its internal challenges before the next electoral cycle.
