Member representing Kokona East Constituency at the Nasarawa State House of Assembly, Hon.

The lawmaker, who emerged victorious in the APC primary election for the Keffi/Karu/Kokona Federal Constituency seat, expressed concern over the recent defections of some party stakeholders, describing the development as one that requires urgent attention from the party leadership.
According to him, proactive reconciliation measures are necessary to preserve the unity, structure, and electoral strength of the APC ahead of the forthcoming general elections.
He noted that disagreements and grievances are common occurrences after party primaries due to conflicting political interests, stressing that the APC is not exempt from such realities.
Hon. Ogazi therefore urged party leaders and stakeholders to immediately commence reconciliation moves, while also advising winners of the primaries to remain magnanimous in victory.
Speaking on his emergence as the APC flagbearer for the Keffi/Karu/Kokona Federal Constituency, the lawmaker said he was confident of victory owing to his political track record and contributions within the state’s political landscape.
He further extended an olive branch to his opponents, calling for unity and collaboration in the interest of the party and the constituency.
On his chances in the forthcoming National Assembly election, Hon. Ogazi expressed optimism about securing victory, stating that he was convinced of success even before joining the race.
He also appealed to his supporters to remain peaceful and accommodating, emphasizing that collective effort and unity would be required to achieve success in the general elections.
