The immediate past Governor of
Kogi state ,Captain Idris Wada, has said that the People’s Democratic Party,
PDP, lost the 2015 governorship election in the state due to electoral fraud
perpetuated by the ruling All Progressives Congress at the federal level.
The former Governor who was
speaking on Friday in Lokoja at an event said his party lost to Federal might.
Wada said that the unfolding
scenario in the state in the last two years has clearly shown that the party
did well under him, stressing that it lost due to wrong perception about the
party’s performance under him.
“We were robbed inf the last
election by the federal power behind the ruling party ,but in 2019, we are
optimistic that the federal power will be in our favour.
We must ensure that we put
forward people of unquestionable character, we must unite behind whoever wins
the primaries and we must not allow elections to divide us,” he said.
According to him, we lost not
because of non-performance, but due to propaganda.The people have now realised
the meaning of non-performance when compared to the present government of
propaganda,”Wada said.
Also speaking at the event,
another former Governor, Alhaji Ibrahim Idris said that the people of Kogi
state have tasted the other side of the equation and have realises the party
that has their interest at heart.
The longest serving Governor in
the history of the state urged party members to get ready to take over Lugard
House come 2019.
“We are confident that the party will return
to power in the state next year judging by the enthusiasm with which party
members gathered here today. This shows that we are ready to return power to
the people of the state.”
