Some people whose alias start with "Z", claim PDP is dead. Despite having an alternative in Labour Party, the Kogi East people ignored the influence of their sitting APC governor to pitch their tents enmass with PDP. APC should watch its back as 2019 approaches.

What is happening today was caused by the late Audu. He collected monies from some intending candidates from Kogi central, east and west senatorial zones, and imposed them on others, without conducting primaries.

Of all the three imposed candidates, Dino melaye was the wiser, and the richest. He connived with inec, and they testified in his favour.

Even though you field an Apc candidate he will still be defeated.

Jorussia:
[s]An election without APC will definitely be a work over for PDP. It is the senatorial victory of APC in IMO state that should be a pointer to the fact that APC is still the most acceptable party by Nigerians across the 6 geopolitical zones of the country despite the present temporary economic challenges facing the country[/s].
