Also speaking, a former Deputy Governor of Kogi State, Yomi Awoniyi, noted that Okun people had resolved to speak with one voice by voting massively for the APC on November 11.

“Our people have resolved to deliver for APC. Our people will vote for consolidation and sustainability in the November 11 governorship election in Kogi State,” he assured.

The Minister of Steel Development, Alhaji Shaibu Abubakar Audu, expressed delight over the massive turn out of party members and supporters at the rally.

The Minister who is also the Director-General of the Kogi State APC Governorship Campaign, said the massive turn out indicated that the APC had no opposition as far as the coming governorship election is concerned.

He expressed the confidence that the Party will win, impressively, come November 11.

“Let us come out en masse to vote for Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo. This will enable him build on the legacies of Governor Yahaya Bello in security, massive job creation, infrastructure and so many other areas.

” With the massive turnout here today, it is clear that we have no opposition,” he stated.

He notef that the people would reward the APC for giving them a sense of belonging and for the achievements in the area.

“Let me make it abundantly clear. The APC will be rewarded for the sense of belonging, infrastructure and appointments the people of Lokoja and Kogi LGAs have enjoyed,” he said.

While addressing the rally, Governor Yahaya Bello called on the people of Kogi West to join hands in forming a government that would meet their yearnings and aspirations.

“The achievements of my administration are visible for all to see. This is not time for us to be complacent.

“We cannot afford to be in the opposition, not with the many plans the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration has for Kogi State.

“In the last couple of years, we have built and rebuilt our infrastructure.

“We have made Kogi money and resources to work for the people. We cannot afford to be dragged back.

“I appeal to the people of Kogi West to vote for the APC to enable consolidation, unity amongst our people and to ensure that the coming generation of the people of Kogi West can be proud of what has been achieved,” the Governor stated.

Highlights of the rally were the receiving of defectors from the PDP and other opposition political parties to the APC and the presentation of the party’s flag to the governorship candidate Ahmed Usman Ododo.

The Campaign team had earlier before the rally visited the Obaro of Kabba, Oba Solomon Dele Owoniyi, for his royal blessing.

Oba Owoniyi assured the team of the continuous support of traditional rulers for the state government.

He said the people of Kogi West are ready to reciprocate the good gesture of Governor Bello.  (vitalnewsngr.com)
