BEVERLY HILLS, October 07, (THEWILL) – As the countdown to the Nov. 21 governorship election in Kogi State begins in earnest, the state governor and the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the election, Capt. Idris Wada, said in Abuja, Wednesday, that all that is needed for the success of the election is a level-playing field.
The governor stated this while speaking with journalists at the State House where he had come to confer with President Muhammadu Buhari.
Expressing confidence that he would win the election and defeat Prince Abubakar Audu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) if a level-playing field is provided, Wada said: “I will tell the people of the state to keep faith because we have a transparent president.
“Provided a level playing field is created and security is tightened, any miscreant dealt with in the course of the election, people given the opportunity to express their will, I believe that on the basis of performance I have laid down over the last three and a half years, our people will provide an overwhelming support for my candidacy. All we need is a level playing field.”
Speaking further, the governor said: “I thank God that I am the candidate of the PDP for the election. Yesterday, we had a tumultuous turnout of our supporters and members of our party when I launched my senatorial campaign at the Eastern Senatorial Zone of Kogi State at Ayingba. It was a very successful rally and the turnout of people.
“In terms of preparation, we are working hard. I am also working with security agencies to ensure that there is a secured and safe environment for our people in the course of the campaign and during the election.”
