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.

Badaru also said that Mrs Blessing Ekele, Mrs Hadiza Ibrahim, Mr Yakubu Mohammed and Mr Danlami Mohammed scored zero votes.

They earlier disqualified some of us, then they said they have qualified some of us to contest. We came for the election but the delegates were denied opportunity to cast their votes; it is somebody who will cast the vote for you. They all cast the votes for Bello,” he said. Asked if he will go to court, Mohammed said, “I am not going to any court; I will leave them with their shame but the national headquarters should do the needful to save the par

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.

Just keep wondering the way forward for our dear country, where even the most trusted Nigerian betrays the trust of the common man, and goes scot free.

Let him go and test is popularity with kogites even though we know say all na rigging

Ok

PDP should be able to defeat him.
But I don't think the citizens in kogi know what they are doing.
There is no difference between them and abia state.

BTW, come to think of it.
If Yahaya bello can be this useless in his first term, just imagine how he would be in his second term?

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

Join this great innovation now!
