The inauguration was done at the Glass House of the State Government in Lokoja.

In his opening address, the State Chairman of the party, Hon Abdullahi Bello congratulated stakeholders for the way they conducted themselves during the primaries that produced Governor Yahaya Bello as candidate and urged them to maintain the peaceful disposition.

He said the committee was important owing to the preparedness of the party to maintain its leadership of the state and the country, stating that the intention of the party was to ensure an overwhelming victory for Kogi APC in November.

He said serving and former members of the national and state assemblies under the APC and are still loyal to the party, former and current Ministers of the Federal Republic from the state, the state youth leader, National and state Women Leaders among others form the committee’s membership.

Speaking, the running mate of the party’s candidate, Hon Edward Onoja enjoined the party’s leadership to ensure only those that were available and ready to work formed part of the committee, noting that it was dangerous to allow any individual to personalise it.
