The Kogi government has urged residents of the state to vote for All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates at all levels for victory in the 2023 general elections.

Ozigi Salami-Deedat, the commissioner for local government and chieftaincy affairs, made the call while addressing party supporters during the unveiling of the party’s National and state assembly candidates in Ehima, Okehi local government area, Kogi.

Ms Salami-Deedat, who expressed satisfaction with the turnout for the event, described the candidates and representatives of the party being unveiled as “very credible” and “competent” to represent their constituencies.

“As a government, which has proven its salt and worth through infrastructure developmental strides, we expect nothing less than victory from the Presidential down to the state assembly elections,” said the commissioner. “This is because it’s on record the appraisal and praises being showered upon Governor Yahaya Bello’s administration by the populace.”

Ms Salami-Deedat added, “The residents said in all the years of the existence of the state, no governor had impacted so positively on critical sectors as Governor Bello had done.”

The commissioner further stated that it was based on the fact that the government was calling on all and sundry to come en masse and cast their votes for Bola Tinubu and all other APC candidates contesting in the 2023 polls in Kogi.
