I Am A Young Person, But Not A Small Boy, I will Get To The End Of This Struggle – Koko Dan

A front line contender for the CRS APC Chairmanship position, Koko Dan Esq, has maintained that he will get to the end of his struggle to serve the state chapter of the party as its chief servant.

Koko made this known to theluminenews on a telephone chat when contacted to state his position on the harmonization and adoption of a consensus candidate.

He averred that “I have never been invited to any meeting, I’m not aware of any consensus. In fact I’m preparing for the state Congress that will produce the executive of the party”

Many unanswered questions continue to trail the process as some wondered where is the internal democracy in CRS APC when the man who has put in so much to build, galvanize support and sustained the party in Obudu/Bekwarra/Obanliku federal constituency, Koko Dan is not been consulted in the ongoing harmonization for a consensus candidate.

Koko Dan is said to have enjoyed the support of young people across the state, but vibrant young people who claimed to advocate youth inclusiveness in the polity of our state have buried their conscience in the bizarre appointment.

On what is his next step, Koko maintained that “I am a young person, but not a small boy, I’m a businessman, I will get to the end of this struggle.

“I have invested so much in the party, I singlehandedly paid one hundred thousand naira (#100,000.00) to both INEC and adhoc staff during the ward congress harmonization exercise. I gave all party supporters from both our ward and other wards who came in solidarity, five thousand naira (#5,000.00) each as transport on same day, apart from the assorted drinks, wine and palm wine.

“It might interest you to know that even when my name was forwarded as a delegate for the state Congress, Hon Patrick Achu and Mr Ebe Idagwu connived and removed my name. What an embarrassment to behold. Is this what I should be paid for all the sacrifices I have made to keep this party alive?” He asked rhetorically.

Some of the things he offered party supporters include, Champagne, Glenfiddich 18 years, Glenmorangie, 50 cartoons of beer, 150 litters of palm wine, two goats, assorted food, rice, pounded yam, egusi soup, vegetable, and pepper soup.

Koko deals on those champagne and whisk and he always like to share it with his supporters.

As at the time of filing this report, calls to Hon Patrick Achu was not responded to and that of Mr Ebe Idagu did not connect.
