INTERVIEW: Why APC will win Kogi governorship election - Oshiomhole, Bello - Premium Times Nigeria

At the end of the meeting, the two visitors spoke with State House correspondents on the purpose of the meeting and the coming Kogi governorship election.Oshiomhole: As you are aware, last week on the 29th of August we conducted transparent primaries in Kogi State and at the end, Governor Yahaya Bello was overwhelmingly nominated. Out of a delegation of 3,300, he scored 3,012 votes.

When you compare that excise to the one done by the PDP a few days back in Kogi State, you will appreciate why we are very happy and excited that our own process went smoothly. Looking at the issues he inherited in Kogi State, especially non-payment of salaries, yesterday , he was able to announce that even the salary of August had been paid before the 29th of August. He said he had paid August salaries. Find out how many governors have done same. That I can confirm as a labour ambassador.

Bello: As regards level of preparedness, I am not just preparing now, I have been ready for this election even before the last general election that produced Mr President, the National Assembly and the state Houses of Assembly. So, we are well prepared for the election. As for victory, I think by the grace of God it is assured.

Bello: The citizens of Kogi State have actually seen my performance against the performance of previous PDP governors. In less than three and a half years, they have seen all my wonderful performances. In fact, starting with even the issue of salaries, it’s just that all along, I have chosen not to speak about the issue of salary because it is a problem I inherited. And in any case, governance is continuum, you inherit both assets and liabilities.
