Prince Abubakar Audu (APC) all the way.

Attack the issues not the writer. I expect u to provide superior arguments (if any) not all this baseless criticisms.

It is no longer news the fact that today Saturday 21st
November, 2015 remains a historic day in the annals of our
political history as eligible voter from the state come out en
mass to elect a new Governor for our dear state.

Over 22 aspirants are jostling for the plum job with the
Incumbent Governor, Capt Idris Wada (PDP), a Former
Governor, Prince Abubakar Audu (APC) and the Immediate
past Deputy Governor of the State, Dr. Philip Salawu (LP) as
top contenders. The citizens are presented with a choice of
either to reelect the incumbent Governor Wada whose
administration supervised the dilapidation of basic
infrastructures, collapse of local government system and
institutionalized corruption and impunity or elect a former
Governor Prince Abubakar Audu whose administration's
giant strides in various sectors of the state has not been
surpassed by all his successors.

At this juncture I will like to provide some hard facts about
this two political dramatis personae that will help make
inform judgement and decision. Gov Wada committed Kogi
state scarce resources into projects whose viability are in
doubt; Construction of 11 storey Kogi House Abuja when
infrastructural facilities in the state capital Lokoja are in
shambles; Construction of Cement Factory Itobe when
Obajana Cement Factory has rendered virtually all her
existing competitors useless. How will one justify the
establishment of a Cassava Processing Plant at the
Governor's hometown Odu which cannot even generate
funds sufficient to pay it's staff salaries? The Governor
introduced half salary thereby aggravating poverty and
unemployment, converted the local governments to his
personal estate where he appoint his stooges as SSAs in
complete disregard to the Court of Appeal judgement
reinstating the 21 dully elected Local Government Chairmen
in the State.

Prince Abubakar Audu or the Prince of the Niger as he is
fondly called by his very many admirers is revered for his
developmental strides during his previous administrations
in the state. The APC standard bearer established all the
states owned tertiary institutions, the Confluence Beach
Hotel, Kogi Radio, Graphic Newspaper, Several Housing
Estates at Lokoja, Massive Road Construction, Pipe Borne
Water, Rural electrification projects across the 3 Senatorial
Districts of the State etc. In fact the Kogi Diagnostic and
Reference Hospital at the Incumbent Governor's second
home town Anyigba was Prince Abubakar Audu's
handiwork.

I enjoin all my fellow Kogites to come out en mass to
exercise their franchise and shun all violent conduct before,
during and after the election. Do not trade your conscience
for peanuts! I am equally calling on the INEC, NGOs,
Traditional Rulers, Police and other security agencies to
create an enabling environment that will allow for the
conduct of a free, fair and credible election in the state.

# VoteDontFight!

Long Live Kogi State.
Long Live Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Where are the Biafra e-rats?

Prince Abubakar Audu (APC) will win considering the overwhelming support he enjoy from 2 out of the 3 senatorial districts in the state. The EFCC case is just a ploy used by the PDP to damage his reputation. The case is fast becoming a seasonal event that is only remembered during elections and also the fact that no judge has been able to deliver judgement on the case for over 12years that he left office speaks volumes.
Mind u none of his successors has been able to surpass his achievements hence our collective resolve to give him another mandate. APC - Change!

Congratulations

At least him self no build university where be say him church members no fit afford. Keep it up Mgbaka.

May his soul rest in peace.
My condolence goes to the families and friends of the deceased.

While we all expect the government to provide good drainage system on our roads we all owe it as a duty that we dont engage in indiscriminate dumping of refuse to forestall this kind of incidence.

Congratulations guys. Keep it up!

My brother, that man na correct gburu gburu can't wait for next election
Common traffic lights installed by formal administration he can't even maintain them

Are u surprised? Dat is what you get when the outgoing Governor singlehandedly choose his successor.

This is the kind of initiative I expected from a vibrant and articulate President not 5k for the unemployed graduates. Great move, PMB.

Congratulations, Jagaban

He is only displaying high class ignorance. To the best of my knowledge the 5000 stipend for unemployed youths is not in the 2015 budget so hoqw did he expect PMB to make the payment? Considering the economic situation in the country and the dwindling oil revenue it is illogical for anyone to expect PMB to commence the payment of the said stipend when over 27 out of the 36 states of the federation cannot even pay workers salary. #WailingWailers.

What PMB is saying is that it makes no economic sense having 36 substantive ministers when u want to reduce the cost of governance therefore we are going to have a situation whereby some of the nominees will serve as Minister of State especially in Grade A ministries.

No wonder they are agitating for Biafra.

Mourinho must go
