The  People’s Democratic Party (PDP) on Friday officially flagged off its campaign in Lokoja the state capital ahead of the November 16 governorship election with a promise to dislodge the ruling party All Progressives Congress (APC) out of Lugard house, then make prompt payment of salaries a top priority.

The National Chairman of Party, Uche secondus while presenting Musa Wada to supporters said they were prepared to galvanise votes across the corners of the state to send packing the APC from Kogi Government House.

Secondus also presented Dino Melaye whom he described as a voice that cannot be silenced to party supporters and urged them to support him to return to the red chamber come November 16.

In his speech, the PDP flag bearer, Engr. Musa Wada, told party supporters to expect improvement in their standard of living as he is set to bring succours in place of the suffering imposed on them by the APC-led administration of Yahaya Bello.

Also Speaking at the occasion , Joseph Ericho, head of security of the party, said one of the cardinal point of focus of a PDP-led administration was the prompt payment of salaries in a bid to alleviate the suffering which the people had been subjected to in the last three and half years of Bello-led administration.

He assured  that PDP government would bring back smiles to the faces of Kogi people if given chance in the election.

He said PDP would not subscribe to any form of violence while urging the youths not to allow themselves to be used to perpetrate any act of violence.

He expressed confidence in the ability of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to carry out their constitutional role as unbiased umpire in the election.

“We do no believe in violence, there is no need for it, people should vote for candidate of their choice, leave the polling booth for INEC to do their job,” he said.

Governors of Benue and Taraba as well as other prominent PDP leaders  were on ground to lend their support to the party’s flag bearer.
