The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) campaign for the
November 16 governorship election in Kogi state Saturday
received a boost with Former Governor Ibrahim Idris
accepting to chair the campaign council.
Also, Senator Tunde Ogbeha who represented the Kogi West
senatorial district from 1999-2007 has been appointed
deputy chairman of the Council. Another grassroots
politician, Badamasuyi Abdulrahaman will serve as
secretary.
The Kogi PDP chapter had suffered a hitch a few days ago
when the senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye,
turned down the offer to lead the party’s governorship
campaign.
Melaye has since been replaced with a serving member of
the House of Representatives, Mr Tajudeen Yusuf who
represents the Kabba-Bunu/Ijumu federal constituency.
Expressing optimism about PDP’s chances in the election,
Yusuf said the party has got a trump card in the Musa
Wada/Sam Aro ticket to win the election.
Describing the PDP candidate as experienced and properly
educated personality, Yusuf said Wada rose to the top of his
public service career through diligence, dedication,
commitment, competence and integrity.
“He has the administrative capacity, organizational
capabilities as well as tremendous goodwill to positively
turn around the fast-dwindling fortunes of our dear state.
“More importantly, with our faith in Almighty God, we are
confident that our Creator will give us victory come
November 16, 2019, Yusuf added.

Stressing the collective desire of the people of Kogi State
for genuine change, Yusuf said the Musa/Aro ticket would
bring about meaningful growth and development as well as
the resuscitation of the Kogi dream.
He said, “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”.
