As the All Progressive Congress flagged off his governorship campaign for November 16 election in Kogi, the Director General, APC campaign council, Senator Smart Adeyemi has thanked Kogi East people for their massive turnout at the Saturday Idah rally.
Senator Adeyemi described the eastern people made up of Igala majority as a “wonderful people” saying their support was “massive and overwhelming.”
Adeyemi who spoke in Idah at the sideline of the flag off said with the show of love from the eastern people, it is crystal clear that the party will garner nothing less than 70 percent of the senatorial votes.
He said, “Kogi East are wonderful people. This outcome today is quite overwhelming. You cannot compare it to the show of shame of Friday PDP flag off where they battled hardly to get 5000 people into the 25,000 sitting capacity stadium.
“The crowd today in eastern flank underscore the acceptability of the governor across the ethnic divides. It shows that the east appreciate the governor, and it demonstrated further that GYB is super comfortable for the poll.
“The opposition will battle to get 25 percent of the eastern votes because the APC will easily capture 70 percent of the votes.
“We commend the east for their solidarity, love and supports. They patiently stayed since morning. I felt like not leaving this town today. This is just too overwhelming, I’m short of words to show my appreciation to the eastern people.”
Adeyemi however said the outpour of love will ginger the governor to do more in his second coming, “The governor is prepared and capable for the task ahead. He will definitely do more for the people than he did in the past.”
