PDP To Kogi Governor: We Will Overrun You In Next Saturday’s Gubernatorial Election.

By Bimbo Ogunnaike

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has vowed to overrun Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello in next Saturday gubernatorial  election in the state.

The party said no threats of violence will deter it from ‘overrunning’ Bello and his party, the All Progressives Congress, (APC), in all the senatorial zones of the state on Saturday.

“As a party, we have on a good authority how Governor Bello and his agents have been threatening the lives of PDP leaders in Kogi Central, all in their failed bid to instill fear on the people and frustrate our campaigns in the area.

“However, the PDP cautions Yahaya Bello and his party to note that nothing will stop our party and the peoples’ candidate, Engr. Musa Wada, from campaigning and consolidating our support in Kogi Central and across the state,’ the statement reads.’

“Our party draws the attention of security agencies to reports that APC and agents of Governor Yahaya Bello have a training ground for thugs in Kogi Central District, who would be later armed with dangerous weapons to perpetrate violence during the election.

“The PDP, therefore, charges the Inspector General of Police and the military hierarchy to immediately call Yahaya Bello and the APC to order as well as take urgent steps to ensure adequate security to safeguard lives and property in the electioneering time frame of the November 16 election in the state,” he said.
