The All Progressives Congress (APC) has inaugurated national campaign councils for the forthcoming governorship elections in Kogi and Bayelsa states, directing all governors on its platform to execute the polls.
While the Kaduna state Governor, Mallam Nasir El-rufai, will lead the campaign team in Kogi, his counterpart in Jigawa, Muhammadu Badaru Abubakar, will lead the campaign in Bayelsa.
Speaking at the inauguration, Friday at the APC national secretariat in Abuja, the National Chairman of the party, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, urged both committees to carry out their assignments regarding the elections with all determination.
Oshiomhole noted that Governor Yahaya Bello deserves to be re-elected, stating that “governors usually get mature in second term.”
Oshiomhole said: “Let me use this opportunity to assure our opponent that we are ready for campaign and elections.”
Responding, the Kano state Governor, Dr. Umar Ganduje, who stood in for Jigawa state governor, said: “It is a matter of democracy that all votes must count in the coming election in Bayelsa state.”
The Kaduna state governor on his part, assured that his team would not let the party down, adding that APC would win the election in Kogi with “a wide margin.”
