Ahead of the November 21 gubernatorial
election in Kogi State, a pressure group within the All Progressives
Congress, Volunteer Network (AVN), said it has mobilised over 20, 0000
volunteers to canvas for the emergence of Senator Nicholas Ugbane as the
party’s flag-bearer, and victory at the poll.
The state coordinator, Mr. Tony Akeje
and the Secretary, Babtunde Oyejide, in a statement issued in Lokoja
and made available to journalists, said if voted as governor, the Ugbane
will among other things transform the state into an agrarian success,
considering its huge agricultural potentials.
They said they were in Lokoja to mobilise the youths and the market men and women, to support Ugbane’s aspiration.
“Senator Ugbane was a two-time
commissioner for education and served in different other ministries in
the state. He is reputed the brains behind several notable achievements
recorded in Kogi, and if elected as governor, he will do more.”
The advised voters to get it right this
time around by rejecting money politics, as well as the do-or-die
attitude of some of the politicians.
