A Kogi group, the Movement for Democracy and Good Governance, has urged workers and civil servants to ensure that true change comes to the state.
It advised them to vote for Prince Abubakar Audu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on November 21.
The body enjoined workers to take their destinies in their hands, by voting out the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP’s) candidate, Governor Idris Wada, because he failed to perform.
The group, in a statement by Jibril O. Yusuf and Habuh-Rajan Suleiman, chairman and secretary, said it was not unaware of the huge liability incurred by the PDP government.
It vowed that it would join others in monitoring the disbursement of the bailout fund granted to the state to ensure that not a kobo was misappropriated.
The body said: “A great change has taken place in the politics of our country, which dislodged the PDP government at the federal level and in many states.
“The role of workers in the realisation of this feat is immeasurable. This movement will not fail to recognise your gallant efforts in this process and therefore wish to hail workers and civil servants in Kogi State.
“In many states of the federation, this change has occurred, with many of them now being governed by the APC. Five of the six states in the Northcentral are being ruled by the APC. Only our dear state, Kogi, is still being ruled by the decadent PDP.
“It is our hope that on November 21, the state will join the league of progressives states to enable the workers and other people enjoy the dividends of democracy, which President Muhammadu Buhari promised the masses.
“To achieve this, federal, state civil servants and other workers have a role to play, because you always bear the burden of governance; good or bad. Vote for Audu on November 21.”
