Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, has urged the people of the state to remain steadfast and vote for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming general election.
Bello stated this while flagging off the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential and state Assembly campaign in Anyingba, Kogi East Local Government Area on Monday.
The governor, who spoke amidst loud cheers from the mammoth APC supporters, expressed confidence that the ruling party will win the 2023 polls.
He stressed that what the APC supporters displayed at the rally was the oneness of the party.
He said apart from the fact that party supporters attended the rally on their own volition, out of their love, and dedication as well as their desire for dividends of democracy, stakeholders from the eastern region were on ground to deliver APC across board.

Governor Bello, who presented all the candidates in Kogi East to the APC supporters, stated that the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, and his running mate, Kashim Shettima, remained the presidential candidate the state was rooting for.
The governor said the Kogi APC was committed to coming up with the highest percentage amongst the entire 36 states in the 2023 general election, urging the people not to be deceived by the opposition.
“In 2019, you delivered 100 per cent because you are trustworthy people and I believe this time similar feet would be repeated across board,” Bello added.
On his part, the Deputy Director General, Kogi State Tinubu/Shettima Campaign Council and Deputy Speaker of the Kogi State House of Assembly, Hon. Alfa Momoh Rabiu, thanked the governor for giving the level-playing ground for the emergence of credible candidates, a development he said made campaign council’s work easy.
He stressed that all the candidates presented by the APC for the forthcoming general election were generous, popular and acceptable, adding that the party structure would galvanise support for them and guarantee their victory.
Also speaking at the rally, the party’s senatorial candidate in Kogi East, Jibrin Echocho, said Governor Bello’s developmental strides in Kogi East had done 80 per cent of their campaign work while the remaining 20 per cent was for each candidate to work on their relationship with the electorate.
