Director General of the Musa Wada campaign organisation, Mr Tajudeen Yusuf, has predicted the defeat of Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State and Senator Smart Adeyemi in the upcoming elections in the state.
While Bello is seeking re-election as governor, Adeyemi is seeking to return to the Senate once again, to represent the Kogi West senatorial district.
Governor Bello, who is contesting on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), is being challenged by Mr Musa Wada of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Also, Adeyemi is challenging Senator Dino Melaye of the PDP for the Kogi West senatorial seat, following the nullification of the latter’s election by the Court of Appeal, which ordered a rerun poll for the district.
But Yusuf said the two elections, slated to hold on November 16, will mark the retirement of Governor Bello and Senator Adeyemi from partisan politics.
In a statement he circulated in Abuja on Monday, the campaign DG said lack of infrastructural development, impoverishment of civil servants and gross ineptitude of the Bello administration have pushed the electorate in the state to embrace the PDP and its candidates.
Stating that the administration had set the state ten years backward, Yusuf said the PDP would put an end to the nightmares through the ballot, with the support of the Kogi people.
