The centre cannot hold again in Kogi APC following mutual suspicion and cold war ranging among the stakeholders in the state over gubernatorial ticket.
Per Second News learnt that the quest to control party structure at ward, local and state levels is also tearing apart the party and the gubernatorial declaration event planned by the chairman, Haddi Ametuo.
Ametuo, the party chairman who was allegedly imposed on the party by his estranged political god- father, Prince Abubakar Audu has now decided to part ways with the former governor.
The rumoured third term ambition of Abubakar Audu is said to be the bone of contention as his plot to have another shot at the Lugard House is having a devastating effect on the chances of Ametuo retaining his seat as party chairman.
The former governor who is well placed to be the party's flag bearer in the forthcoming gubernatorial election in the state has been dumped by some of his political associates following his refusal to drop his age long third term ambition.
Audu, who has not hidden his dislike for the strange behaviour of the APC state chairman has asked his loyalists who dominate the state working committee, SEC to work for the removal of the chairman.
The APC chairman who seems to be enjoying the popularity of members of the party may be in for a surprise if his bid to dwarf the battle ready former governor fails.
