The All Progressive Congress APC Campaign Council for the gubernatorial election in Kogi state has claimed that the party’s candidate has the support of the grassroot.
The Chairman of the Media and Publicity Committee of the Campaigns, Mr Kingsley Fanwo, revealed this while addressing newsmen on Thursday at Takete Ide area of Kogi State.
He noted that the massive turnout of the people to support their campaign was a proof that November 16 election would be victorious for APC.
He said “impressive turn out of the people to reassure the Governor and his Deputy that November 16 is for APC.”
He further said “The sound we are getting from the microphone test across the Wards in the State is a clear indication that the people are ready to give GYB and CEDO the opportunity to do more for Kogi State.
“From Yagba West to Idah and Olamaboro, the sounds were quite reassuring of the resolution of the Kogi people to continue to trust the best Administration in the history of Kogi State.
“We thank the people for coming out in their thousands at our different Wards and we commend them for their peaceful conduct which is the hallmark of our Governorship Campaign as a party and as a people. The messages are very clear: We are showcasing excellent governance and unmatched leadership positives; we are showcasing unprecedented feats in healthcare delivery, agriculture, education, road construction and many others. We are displaying the unity we have brought to our dear State. We are not interested in violence. We are accepted by the people of the state from the villages to the urban centres. The acceptance is resounding and deafening.
Fanwo noted that PDP candidate was struggling with legitimacy of his candidacy.
He said “The PDP candidate is struggling with the legality of his nomination and the fact that he is strange to the people and the State is strange to him. He needs to understand the people and their needs and expectations before aspiring to lead them.
“The Governor and the leader of our party has warned that no APC Member should wage violence on anyone. GYB/CEDO’s political and developmental credentials are enough to earn APC a landslide victory in the upcoming Kogi Governorship election”.
The chairman alleged that the PDP has “completely lost it’s steering”, referring to the opposition party as a “keg of frivolities.”
He further said “They are unprepared for this election. They are overburdened by their failure to organize themselves internally. What they do now is to issue baseless statements and peddle falsehood.
“PDP will be defeated on November 16, 2019, by the people of Kogi State.”
