Former Governor of Kogi, Mr Idris Wada, on Monday said that Nov. 16 governorship election in the state was critical for its survival.
“If I had spent four more years with the kind of money that is coming into the hand of the present governor, the state would have become a state that we will all be proud of,” he said.“Kogi is right now like in quicksand; the more you wriggle out, the more you sink. Wada added that when he was governor he added value to the state through infrastructural projects, including rural electrification for more than 400 communities.
“The prevailing hunger and poverty, you can feel it when you enter Kogi, the booming live of our people has disappeared,” he said. Wada pledged to work with the Federal Government towards reactivating Ajaokuta-Itapke operations to employ more people, and restore programmes targeted at youth and women empowerment under his previous administration.
“We encouraged them to save and the government doubled their savings so that they can also become employers of labour.
