The National Coordinator of South-East All Progressive Congress (APC), Young Progressive Forum, Comrade Otimkpu Paschal Chizoba, has urged Igbos living in Kogi state to come out en-masse on Saturday 16th November 2019 and vote wisely and massively for the re-election of Governor Yahaya Bello and APC.
In a statement, Comrade Chizoba urged Ndigbo living in the state to reflect and check the past and know the kind of people they had been associating with before now because “all that glitters is not gold”.
He said: “It is on record that security of lives and properties of Igbo people living in Kogi has been well protected under the administration of Governor Yahaya Bello. Our people have not had it so good. Some people and parties have been going about promising Igbos heaven on earth.
“Ndigbo should ask those people and parties and its memberships what happened all these years when the party and some of them were in power,” he said.
He explained that Governor Bello had performed well, in areas of infrastructural renewal, security, clearing of outstanding salaries of Kogi workers and he deserved a second term.
He described Governor Bello and his Deputy, Mr Onoja as detribalised leaders, saying: “We, Igbo people, have enjoyed peace in the last four years of Bello’s governance”.
He urged Igbos in the state to use the Nov. 16 governorship election as “pay-back time for Gov. Bello’s goodness”.
Comrade Chizoba also commended the Governor for his religious tolerance and support for Christians and Muslims in the state
