Governorship Election: PDP Warns El-Rufai Against Stepping Foot In Kogi

Ahead of the November 16 governorship election in Kogi State,  the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has warned the Kogi national campaign council chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Governor Nasir El-Rufai, against stepping a foot in the state. 

The PDP issued the warning in a statement by its national publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, on Sunday.

The PDP also asked El-Rufai to counsel Governor Yahaya Bello, who is APC’s candidate in the election, to accept defeat as he had allegedly performed woefully during his first term in office.

According to the party, Bello cannot point to any development project or initiative achieved by his administration in Kogi in the last four years.

“If the APC means well for Kogi state, the party should not be wasting its time to campaign but rather counsel Yahaya Bello to use the remaining days of his abysmal tenure to show remorse, pay up the 36 month arrears he owes workers and pensioners, restitute for those who died because of his suppressive rule and get ready with his handover notes.

“The APC Campaign Council should come to terms with the fact that the people of Kogi state had made up their minds to repay Yahaya Bello in his own coin by kicking him out of office,” the PDP stated.
