Speaking as the meeting commenced on Wednesday, the National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan who is also from the state said the party’s “winning streaks in the just concluded governorship elections in Bauchi, Imo, Rivers, Adamawa, Bauchi, Osun among other states will be re-enacted in the forthcoming Kogi governorship election.

He further affirmed that the people of the state are looking towards the party to rescue them “from the misrule of the All Progressives Congress, APC, under Governor Yahaya Bello, adding that the PDP cannot afford to fail them.

“As we all know, our people have gone through pains, acute poverty, hunger, dehumanization, brutalization, job losses, untimely deaths, suicide and all sorts of anguish as a result of the misrule of the incumbent APC government.

“The people of Kogi state are therefore looking up to the PDP for a rescue and we cannot afford to fail them. We must therefore not allow anything to demoralize us as the winning streaks, which our party displayed in Imo, Adamawa, Bauchi, Osun among others, will be repeated in Kogi state by the grace of Almighty God.

“In this race, we must also bear in mind that we have the support of the people. Kogi state has always been home to the PDP notwithstanding the temporary setback of the APC. We must therefore prepare ourselves, stand with the people and salvage our dear state from the pangs of misrule. Our people yearn to move forward and we must give them that leverage which they earnestly seek.”
