A Cheiftain of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Lokoja Local Government Area, Mallam Gimba Lokoja, has said the party stands to beat in the upcoming governorship election because of the level of devastation being left behind by the outgoing All Progressives Congress (APC), administration.
He said this in Hausa, after a meeting of Lokoja SDP stakeholders held at Kewon Hotel, Lokoja on Wednesday.
Gimba Lokoja said, “SDP is going to win the election in Kogi State because we have never had it so bad in the history of Kogi State.
“Our people were impoverished, salaries have not been paid, pensions have not been paid, gratuity has not been paid, the health sector is non-existent, in fact, all the General Hospitals in the state are mere consulting clinics.
“Education has gone moribund, this is what the SDP is coming to ameliorate and palate. I want to assure you that by the grace of God , with the resolutions of this meeting, with the strategy adopted in this meeting, SDP is good to go in Kogi State.
“My charge to Kogites is that they should not be intimidated by the APC, by the threat, violence, the humiliation by the APC should not deter them from exercising their Democratic rights. I want to assure you that we will protect our people.”
