A group, Kogi Advocate for

contest for House of Representative, Bassa / Dekina Federal Constituency in the
coming elections, describing him as a square peg in square hole.
In a press statement
released in Lokoja today, the Coordinator of the group, Hon Umar Ghadaffi
Lokoja, said the call became necessary in view of Engr James Akale’s
outstanding leadership qualities, professional achievements and selfless
services to humanity and the need for quality representation of the Dekina /
Bassa people, which Akale can give based on his level of exposure.
“In view of his outstanding
professional performance and service to humanity, we wish to compel him to
without further delay declare interest to contest for the House of
Representative, Bassa Dekina Federal Constituency in the 2019 elections” Umar
stated.
Hon Umar said Bassa has
only produced a House of Representative member for Dekina/Bassa once in 1999;
subsequent representatives have been from Dekina axis of the Constituency. This
could be attributed to the Igala Majority factor. He reiterated the peaceful
co-existence between the Bassa and Dekina people. He then said for equity,
fairness and justice to prevail, it is imperative that a Bassa candidate be
supported by all and sundry to represent the constituency this time around,
