“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.

Minister of steel development, Shaibu Abubakar, who is the director general of the Kogi State APC Governorship Campaign, said the massive turnout indicated that the APC had no opposition, while expressing the confidence that it would win impressively on November 11.

In his remarks, Usman Ododo, said he was committed to consolidating on the progress and development achieved by Governor Bello.

Governor Yahaya Bello urged the people of Kogi West to join hands in forming a government that would meet their yearnings and aspirations.
