Moment Kogi Deputy Gov., Onoja Cheers His Supporters After Withdrawing From APC Gov’ship Primary 

Video of the moment Kogi Deputy governor,  Chief Edward Onoja cheered up his supporters after withdrawing from the governorship primary of the ruling All Progressive Congress in the state has emerged.

Onoja, who has been widely tipped to succeed the outgoing governor, Yahaya Bello after his tenure later this year has, to the shock and disbelieve of his teeming supporters, announced his withdrawal from the forthcoming party primary.

His decision also came as a surprise to power Brookers within and outside the state who are really familiar with the political undercurrents of the country and who fancy the chances of the number two citizen of the state stepping into the shoes of his outgoing boss.

RovingNaija however gathered from sources in the inner caucus of the deputy governor’s kitchen cabinet that his decision to pull out of the contest was based on the move by his principal, Governor Bello to pick another preferred candidate among the list of aspirants contesting for the party ticket.

Faced with the daunting reality that his chances of winning the election are slim should he confront his boss and political benefactor, and being a savvy party loyalist, the deputy governor decided to withdraw from the keen race.

After his withdrawal, Edward Onoja in a viral video, told his supporters not to be detered, discouraged or downcast because of his decision to step down his governorship ambition.

He told them that as long they have lives and good health, they should keep hope alive.

The video has since gone viral on social media.
