Former governor of Kogi State, Prince Abubakar Audu, has said he is not contesting the governorship seat of the State to win the election and witch hunt anyone.
He said no one had offended him in the state during his first tenure, saying he is also asking for forgiveness from whoever he had offended directly or indirectly during his reign as governor.
Audu stated this weekend at the Lokoja Township stadium while responding to women and youths under the aegis of Vision G63 Voice of the Grassroots, who in their thousands begged him to return to Lugard House to rescue the state from economic quagmire and infrastructural decay.
The former governor, who assured the crowd that he had finished consultations and would contest the forthcoming governorship election in the state, said during his first tenure as the governor of the state civil servant received their salaries as and when due.
“Our lost glory would be restored if given the chance to govern again. I will create one million jobs for the teeming unemployed youths if given the mandate. The 12 years of PDP misrule will soon be a thing of the past. When I was governor of the state from 1999 to 2003, I did not owe civil servants and those retrenched now would return to work. Your days of suffering are numbered, I have done it before and I will do it again,” he said.
