Oshiomhole: APC chairman

The National Chairman, All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr Adams Oshiomhole said the party’s governorship aspirants in Kogi have agreed to work with the party’s candidate, Gov. Yahaya Bello to win the Nov. 16 governorship election.

Oshiomhole, who said this on Thursday after meeting with the aspirants in Abuja, said that the party invited the aspirants for post primary meeting to put issues arising from the process behind it.

“My brothers and sisters from Kogi who participated in the process have shared with us their feelings about the process and outcome.

“But I think the good thing is that I thank each and anyone of them inspite of whatever they have to say, recognising the fact that they have to work together to win the next governorship election in Kogi ,” Oshiomhole said.

According to him, Gov. Yahaya Bello having governed the state for four years doesn’t need to do a new apprenticeship.

“The governor will build on experience gained and build on where we have done welI.

“He will also improve on where we probably have not, so that overall after eight years, we will be able to look back, we point out the change between when he came in and when he left,” he said.

“The conversation also enables us to amplify the fact that Gov Bello met huge debt burden.

“Debts not only in terms of salary arrears not paid by predecessor but debt of contracts allegedly awarded some paid for job not done and we said he (governor) should try to get some of those projects completed,” he said.

Bello commended the National Working Committee of the party for inviting all the Kogi governorship aspirants to thrash out their differences to ensure party’s victory in the upcoming Nov. 16 governorship election in the state.

He assured the aspirants that he would carry them along in his campaign and governance to better the lives of people of the state.
