Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Dr Samson Omale has emerged the Young Progressives Party (YPP) governorship candidate in Kogi, after a primary election held on Monday in Lokoja.<\/p>\n

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Omale, who was the only aspirant, was unanimously affirmed and adopted as the party\u2019s governorship candidate, in the presence of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officials.<\/p>\n

The YPP Primary Election Committee Chairman, Dr David Komolafe said Omale had been duly screened and certified to participate in the primary election.<\/p>\n

Komolafe announced that a total of 184 delegates from all the 21 local government areas of the state were accredited to vote, in line with the party\u2019s constitution.<\/p>\n

The chairman, who is also the YPP State Secretary, said the only other aspirant, Mrs Funmilayo Olumodeji, had voluntarily stepped down for Omale earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

\u201dOmale has, therefore, been unanimously elected unopposed by the delegates since the other aspirant has stepped down,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

YPP Chairman in the state, Dr Victor Akubo, affirmed the decision of the delegates and appreciated the other aspirant for making the process simple and peaceful.<\/p>\n

Akubo congratulated Omale for emerging the YPP flag bearer in the state, urging him to make the party and the state proud, if he became the governor.<\/p>\n
