By Yusuf Abubakar.
The Atai Aidoko Ali Support Group (AAA) has called on voters in Kogi East senatorial district to adhere with the directives of Kogi East Elders Council (KEEC) on the 2019 general election.
In a statement signed by Idris Yakubu, spokesman of AAA, the group noted that the decision of Kogi East Elders Council (KEEC) to adopt the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the official party of the people of the area should not be taken with levity in view of the plans by state sponsored arrangement to buy votes of each electorate in the area.
Idris stated that the APC controlled state government has budgeted N10,000 per voter and N500,000 per polling unit for votes buying in Kogi East district.
He charged the people of the area to embark on an aggressive enlightenment among electorate to halt the dubious moves by the state government.
Idris posited that Senator Atai Aidoko is the official candidate of the elders of the area in the rescheduled national assembly elections.
He advised the people of Kogi East, particularly the teeming youths, to be vigilant, track anywhere the votes trading is taking place and stop it as the act negates the collective decision to eradicate Yahaya Bello’s maladministration targeted at the Igala/Bassa nation and Kogi state in general.
He commended the collective efforts of the people of Kogi East and determination to vote all PDP candidates.
He reminded the voters that voting for any APC candidate in the forthcoming elections will promote the re-election of Governor Yahaya Bello.
Idris said the partial position of INEC resident commissioner in Kogi state, Prof. James Apam by romancing the APC-led Kogi state government will fail on Saturday.
