The Kogi State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has vehemently rejected the attempted nomination of James Faleke, as a replacement to Late James Ocholi, (Minister of State, Labour and Employment), who died in a ghastly motor accident, along Abuja/Kaduna Express way, in 2016.
Faleke, a serving member of the Federal House Of Representatives, representing Lagos State, who lost the Governorship sit in Kogi State, is widely believe to be the political son on the National Leader of the APC, Bola Tinubu.
The total rejection of Faleke, was contained in a statement on Monday night, jointly signed and issued by the leaders of the party from Kogi-West, Suleiman Ejibunu, and Chief Richard Asaje.
According to the statement, on Monday, January 2, it was claimed in some quarters that Faleke, who lost power in his State, would fill the vacant position of late Ocholi.

Faleke, a serving member of the Federal House Of Representatives, representing Lagos State, who lost the Governorship sit in Kogi State, is widely believe to be the political son on the National Leader of the APC, Bola Tinubu.
The total rejection of Faleke, was contained in a statement on Monday night, jointly signed and issued by the leaders of the party from Kogi-West, Suleiman Ejibunu, and Chief Richard Asaje.
“If at all Faleke and his godfather, Ahmed Bola Tinubu, deserve any post, it is not the Ministerial slot of Kogi State, in order to avoid serious crisis in the State’s APC, as such move may lead to exit of prominent, loyal and committed members of the party, while also aggravating the fractionalisation of the party, along many divides.The leaders, noted that Faleke, representing Lagos State in the National Assembly, was known to Kogi State APC only during the Governorship struggle when, “Tinubu imposed him on the State as the Deputy Governorship candidate, to late Prince Abubakar Audu.
“We are also unequivocally resolute to stop Tinubu’s expansion into the State, or any State in the North-Central; we are determined to push out all his consults from the State, in 2018/2019.
“It is a task that must be done through all legal/political means. They have failed, and they will continue to fail,” the statement noted.
“This generated a lot of discomfort to the founding members of APC; who built the party and fought the then sitting government in all national elections, and won.APC added, that the party reconciliation was proposed; as Faleke rejected all form of reconciliation measures with the State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, at the one-year anniversary prayer for late Audu, at Ogbonicha, confirming his determination to continue to fight the APC.
“However, we swallow the pains to fight and win the Governorship election in the State.
“Faleke took the party to court, up to Supreme Court, and lost, while some leaders have remained from begging to support and build APC in the State, if those leaders’ efforts are left to this ugly power play with humiliation of this nature, what type of party and country are we building?” the APC asked.
“Giving him such an appointment will amount to providing him fuel to fire up the disintegration of APC in the State.
“Faleke alongside Hon. Buba Jibril, in the West Senatorial Area of Kogi State, have formed illegal party structures, and lay claim to illegal stakeholder structure, for which a petition is already before the national leadership of the party on Jibril,” the party leaders said.
