Hon. Samuel Bamidele Aro, a seasoned politician and patriot, has made a significant decision to rejoin the All Progressives Congress (APC). As a former member of the House of Representatives (2007-2011) representing Yagba Federal Constituency and a former senatorial aspirant, Hon. Aro’s return to the APC is expected to bolster the party’s strength in the region.
During the formation of the APC, Hon. Aro played a pivotal role, and his alignment with the Accord party, which held significant interest in the APC before the 2016 gubernatorial election, further solidified his position. His influence was evident in the APC governorship primary that year, showcasing his ability to mobilize support and shape political outcomes.
Hon. Aro’s relationship with both the former Governor of Kogi State, His Excellency Alhaji Yahaya Bello, and the incumbent governor underscores his strategic importance in the state’s political landscape. After thorough consultations, Hon. Aro has decided to rejoin the APC to better serve his people and meet his political aspirations.
This development is poised to significantly enhance the fortunes of the APC in Kogi State, particularly due to Hon. Aro’s esteemed reputation, extensive experience, and considerable influence. His return is expected to fortify the party’s standing and play a crucial role in its ongoing growth and success within the region.
