The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has cautioned the All Progressives Congress (APC) to refrain from playing the ethnic card ahead of the gubernatorial election in Kogi state.
The opposition party told the ruling party to get ready to face the consequences of poor governance it foisted on the people of the state since 2016.
The warning was given in Lokoja by the national publicity secretary of the party, Kola Ologbondiyan.
Ologbondiyan gave the warning in Lokoja, during the inauguration of the PDP's governorship campaign committees, in Lokoja.
He described the APC administration under Governor Yahaya Bello as a complete failure and embarrassment to the people of the state.
Ologbondiyan said: “The people of Kogi state have suffered enough under Governor Yahaya Bello and the APC. Many of our citizens have lost their loved ones and their breadwinners; they have lost husbands, wives children and other loved ones, to the excruciating hardship caused by non-payment of their salary and pensions by Governor Bello. There is no way he can be re-elected."
He advised Governor Bello to start preparing his handover notes, saying the people of the state are determined to vote him out on Saturday, November 16.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Honourable James Faleke declared that he would support the reelection bid of Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi state.
Faleke made the declaration when he visited Governor Bello in Abuja on Sunday, October 6.
The meeting was part of efforts for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to record overwhelming victory at the gubernatorial election scheduled for Saturday, November 16.
