Okun leaders visit Tinubu over marginalisation claim

President Bola Tinubu, on Thursday, promised to address complaints of marginalisation in terms of power rotation and constitutional provisions to guarantee equal rights for all Senatorial Districts in Kogi state.

This formed part of the discussions when Tinubu received in audience the leaders of Okun Development Association, led by Prof. Micheal Ikupolati, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

“When you talk about domination, I’ll have to dig deeper into the issues. Yes, the question of rotation was agreed upon by Prince Audu and some other leaders, but death didn’t allow him. God Almighty knows the reasons and we cannot question him,” the President told the leaders, referring to an agreement on power rotation made by the late Abubakar Audu.

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, revealed this in a statement he signed on Thursday titled ‘President Tinubu urges peace and unity among Okun people ahead of Kogi elections.’
