Soul Lover was on Friday dressed and decorated with APC’s robes by the State chairman of the ruling party, Abdullahi Bello, in Ajaka, Igalamela-Odolu Local Government Area, as a sign that he had fully pitched his tent with the APC.

Inah attributed his decision to join the APC to his desire to contribute to the development of Kogi State and the country as a whole.

He said the APC government, under Governor Yahaya Bello, had instituted unity, security and overall development of the state, hence his decision to support the APC governorship candidate, Alhaji Usman Ododo, for consolidation.

Speaking during his admission into the party, which was witnessed by a mammoth crowd, the heavyweight political leader in Kogi East vowed to mobilise massively for his new party and ensure that APC wins overwhelmingly in the forthcoming November 11 governorship election.
