KOGI GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION: PDP APPOINTS CAMPAIGN OFFICIALS, SETS UP COMMITTEES

Authentic change, based on the peoples’ collective aspirations is about to be actualized in Kogi State, the Director-General of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) Governorship campaign organization, Hon. Teejay Yusuf has said.
 
Hon. Yusuf who also represents Kabba-Bunu/Ijumu Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, said a mix of committed youths with capacity, along with experienced politicians from the three Senatorial zones in the State, have been carefully selected to steer the PDP’s “Wada/Aro Governorship” campaign.
 “Many Kogites worry that the ruling party in the state comprises so-called leaders who have always been associated with cooking up mischief and who will stop at nothing, including shooting a gathering of innocent people who do not believe in them but we plead for non-violence.

“The present state of economic squalor, abject poverty, societal degeneration, developmental disequilibrium, infrastructural decay, moral decadence, inexplicable suffering and gross hopelessness experienced by Kogites, truly inspired the keen collective desire for genuine change, meaningful growth and development as well as the resuscitation of the Kogi dream.
 
“The capacity, competence and capabilities of experienced members of our campaign team and the dynamism, passion and creative abilities of our vibrant youths in the team are pointers to impactful mobilization at the grassroots,” Hon. Yusuf stated on Friday.
