Count yourselves lucky if you get up to 25% of total votes in November Kogi Guber

To the Director General of APC Campaign Council for November 16th 2019 governorship election, Senator Smart Adeyemi, the opposition would not get up to 25% of the total votes in that polls.

He made the boast against the backdrop of his position that the incumbent Governor Yahaya Bello has a lot of projects to use for his campaign which would be devoid of rhetoric but practical revelation of the humongous achievements of the present administration.

Senator Adeyemi who was speaking at the Government House in Lokoja after the council’s inauguration said Governor Bello has outperformed all previous administrations in the state combined, save for late Prince Abubakar Audu who laid the foundation for the state following its creation in 1991.

He appraised Governor Bello for the bravery with which he is striving to rebuild Kogi State after the financial torture it had suffered in the past under previous administrations, noting that building the political and economic structures to making a state great like Governor Bello is doing was bound to receive the kind of reaction it is eliciting in some quarters.

The Director General was however quick to admit that Kogi was not the best in the country but added that if the current socioeconomic and political reforms being carried out by the Governor was sustained, the state was on its way to being one of the greatest in Nigeria with time.

He recalled the existence of a cabal codenamed; ‘stakeholders’ who were living large on the state commonwealth as they were being serviced with various sums in millions monthly by the previous governments despite such class of people being already wealthy.

Senator Adeyemi therefore commended the Governor for his pragmatic leadership style and commitment to ensuring equity, unity and justice in resource redistribution across Kogi State.

“We are grateful to have Governor Bello as the number one citizen of the state at this point in time. We are more United and collectively are working for the progress of the state. We no longer look at one another with suspicion. Tribe, ethnicity, religion are all secondary in today’s Kogi State. Thank you Alhaji Yahaya Bello.”
