He said that the calibre of members appointed showed the importance the party attaches to the forthcoming bye election.
“Lokoja Kogi Federal Constituency means so much to our party because of the strategic position it occupies in the State.
“It also mean much to us based on the fact that Lokoja Kogi Federal Constituency has always been a PDP dominated constituency and so we need to reclaim what belongs to us,” he said.
