#KogiGovRace: APC Guber Aspirant Pledges to Develop Kogi

An All Progressives Congress gubernatorial aspirant in Kogi State, General Yusuf Abubakar, rtd, has pledged to be committed to the development of basic infrastructures if given the mandate to lead Kogi State.
He stated that the state will amongst the needed opportunities for the industrial revolution for the entire country.


The retired Army General equally promised to use his wealth of experience to tackle the worsening security problems in the state if given the opportunity, saying that the current trend is worrisome.

Abubakar who disclosed this to journalists in Lokoja over the weekend, while declaring his intention to run for the governorship of the state, noted that the state is under siege and required urgent steps to salvage the situation.

He said: “Kogi state has had its fair share of insecurity problems, communal crises, and lacks of adequate infrastructures which has adversely affected its socio-economic development.

“We shall concentrate more on peace and confidence building aimed at finding a lasting solution to the incessant and avoidable hostilities among our people.”

He pointed out that Kogi is currently faced with some horrific infrastructural dilapidation and deficit over the past years of its existence, ranging from youth restiveness, unemployment, corruption in public service and nonpayment of salaries as at when due.

Other challenges confronting the state, he said, include: poor road networks in the rural areas, inefficient educational structures, poor health service, deliberate gross irresponsibility of government officials and lack of political will to tackle issues concerning security of lives.
