Idah, Kogi State | August 2, 2026
The Forum of Pastors Political Movement (FPPM) has formally endorsed the senatorial aspiration of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) candidate for Kogi East, Hon. QS Aminu Abubakar Suleiman, describing him as a leader of proven capacity, integrity, compassion, and commitment to the development of the people.
The endorsement was made during a courtesy visit by the Forum to the GRA residence of Hon. QS Aminu Abubakar Suleiman in Idah on Saturday, August 2, 2026. The delegation, led by the President of the Forum, Apostle E.O. Jeremiah, presented its message of support on behalf of pastors and Christian leaders from the nine Local Government Areas of Kogi East.
Speaking during the visit, Apostle Jeremiah said the Forum was gathered not merely as religious leaders but as custodians of conscience, voices of the people, and watchmen over the land. He noted that after carefully observing QS Aminu’s humanitarian interventions, professional accomplishments, and leadership qualities, the Forum was convinced that he possesses the character and competence required to provide purposeful representation for Kogi East in the Senate.
According to him, Kogi East needs a senator who will boldly represent the interests of the people at the National Assembly, attract critical infrastructure and development projects, create employment opportunities, improve access to education and healthcare, empower youths and women, defend justice and equity across all communities, and remain accessible and accountable to the electorate after the elections.
Quoting Proverbs 29:2, “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice,” Apostle Jeremiah prayed that the emergence of QS Aminu would usher in a new era of progress, unity, and prosperity for Kogi East.
The Forum thereafter declared its full support for the ADC candidate and pledged to mobilize its congregations across the district to pray, participate in the electoral process, and support his candidacy. It also assured that while supporting him, the pastors would continue to hold him accountable to the ideals of integrity, transparency, and selfless service.
In his response, Hon. QS Aminu Abubakar Suleiman expressed profound gratitude to the Forum of Pastors Political Movement for the confidence reposed in him, describing the endorsement as both humbling and a call to greater responsibility.
He said leadership is fundamentally about service, sacrifice, and accountability, assuring the pastors and the people of Kogi East that he would remain committed to transparent, inclusive, and people-oriented representation.
QS Aminu also presented his professional résumé, highlighting his educational background, international qualifications, and extensive experience in quantity surveying, infrastructure development, construction project management, dispute resolution, and public service. He explained that his professional exposure, complemented by years of humanitarian interventions and community development initiatives across Kogi East, has adequately prepared him for effective legislative representation.
He reaffirmed his commitment to pursuing strategic legislation, attracting federal infrastructure projects, expanding employment and empowerment opportunities for youths and women, improving education and healthcare, and ensuring that Kogi East receives equitable federal attention and development.
The ADC candidate further assured the delegation that, if elected, he would operate an open-door policy, institutionalize regular town hall meetings across the district, and remain accessible and accountable to the people throughout his tenure.
The visit concluded with prayers for peace, credible elections, and God’s guidance over the future of Kogi East and Nigeria. The endorsement by the Forum of Pastors Political Movement is expected to further strengthen the growing support for QS Aminu Abubakar Suleiman ahead of the 2027 general elections.
