Member representing Ankpa 1 State Constituency and the Deputy Majority Leader of Kogi State House of Assembly, Hon. Ahmed Mohammed has declared that Kogi electorate are determined to re-elect Governor Yahaya Bello for a second term in office.
Ahmed made this known while responding to questions from newsmen in Lokoja on Monday.
The lawmaker noted that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is done with the first phase of the elections and now, the second phase is to ensure the Governor of Kogi State, Alh. Yahaya Adoza Bello is returned elected in November 2019.
He said the Governor, within the last three years, has laid solid foundations and only his continuity will guarantee putting super structures on the face of a new Kogi State.
“Power defines many things, we know many projects ongoing in Kogi East, Central and West, and we don’t want them to stop. Ankpa township road which was abandoned for so many years by previous government is a typical example. The people of Ankpa LGA will go for Gov. Bello. We have to choose between options; One is to go back to Egypt and other option is to go ahead to Canaan land.
“Why some persons cannot see it is because his administration is laying the foundation. It is like when you want to build a house, people who are walking past may not see the foundation until you put a super structure there. It is now the time to put that structure and only those who are involved in the foundation will understand it,” he said.
He also cited the victory recorded by APC in the recent House of Assembly elections in Kogi State where the party swept the entire twenty five seats as an indication that the Governor is fully in charge of the party structure in Kogi State.
“Now that we have taken over the House of Assembly and all the seats in Kogi East, I assure you that the votes can only increase this time around and we will sustain it.”
