Meanwhile, Attah’s emergence has elicited joy amongst party members. Similarly, the social media has also been agog, immediately the news of Attah’s election filtered into town.
In retrospect, Ahmed Attah is a not a baby politician, as he has risen to the position of Kogi East Zonal Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) before resigning from the exalted office in 2023, citing insubordination, ineptitude, lack of vision by the APC led government in the State.
