The Peoples Democratic Party has expressed satisfaction over the emergence of the incumbent governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello as the flag bearer of the All Progressive Congress, APC for the November 16 governorship election in the state.

Governor Yahaya Bello clinched the APC governorship ticket, after defeating the eight other aspirants with 3,127 out of 3,596.

In a statement, on Monday the PDP through its spokesperson in the state, Bode Ogunmola, noted that emergence of Yahaya Bello will make it easy for the party to win the governorship seat.

PDP claimed that Governor Bello bribed the APC delegates in order to clinch the party ticket, noting that it will be impossible for the governor to bribe the people of Kogi state.

Part of the statement that: “It is a well-known fact that Governor Bello cannot win any local government, given his poor performance and the way and manner the resources of the state are being massively looted.

“His desperation to return is to save himself from going to prison over looted funds. That was why he had to spend hugely to get strong contenders disqualified.

“If he succeeds in fooling the leadership of his party and the delegates, we are confident that he cannot fool Kogi electorate who are victims of his monumental mis-governance.”
