Gov Yahaya Bello of Kogi State yesterday emerged as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Nov. 16 Governorship election. But one of the aspirants who challenged Bello for the ticket described the processes that produced the governor as candidate of the party as “mockery,” saying the national headquarters of the party should cancel the primary election and organize another one.

Gov. Abubakar Badaru of Jigawa State said Bello emerged winner of the governorship ticket by polling 3,369 votes to beat eight other aspirants who contested the governorship primaries conducted by the party in Lokoja.

If certain useless Ikpeazu, Otorm, Ugwuanyi and Okowa, could win their states in the last election effortlessly, despite their total failure in all facet of governance, then November election will surely be a walk in park for Comrade Governor, Yahaya Bello who not only cleared the salary outstanding of the workers but has tangible achievements to point to.

IPOB yoots leave Kogi State for Kogites to decide their future.

Abia's case is always 2 or 3 bad choices, so you sit at home.

Join this great innovation now!
