Youths in Kogi State under the aegis of Ebira Youths Coalition (EYC), on Sunday vowed to resist to the last drop of their blood any attempt by Governor Yahaya Bello and APC members to manipulate the 2023 elections.
Rising from an emergency working committee meeting held in Okene, Kogi State, the youths chided the
governor and his cronies for misleading Nigerians, embarking on laughable exercise and suicide
mission and placing Kogi State both on the map of national and international ridicule.
Speaking through its National Director of Information and Orientation, Dr. Ihiampe Jato, they
condemned the governor for orchestrating a campaign of calumny against the People’s Democratic
Party (PDP) senatorial candidate in Kogi Central, Chief Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan, with a view
to impugn her integrity and malign the transparency stance of the Kogi Central PDP candidate.
They praised Akpoti-Uduaghan for her peaceful disposition and gentility.
They endorsed her as their choice candidate for the February National Assembly election.
‘’We need a vibrant and well-focused senator who has the interest of the district at heart; a woman who is academically sound and administratively skillful; a very deft master strategist who doesn’t talk with both sides of mouth; a woman who will deliver the dividend of democracy to the wonderful people of Kogi Central’’
‘’Chief Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan will make Kogi Central a more salubrious clime. She will promote an environment safe for life and the growth of business’
’’The good people of Kogi Central deserve a better senator with sound understanding and intellectual depth. Chief Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan is suitable and capable of leading the way out of the quagmire we find ourselves today’’
‘’Governor Yahaya Bello and his cronies are overwhelmed by the rising political profile of Chief Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan. They simply want to be mischievous’’
‘’Nothing will stop Akpoti-Uduaghan from occupying the Kogi Central senatorial seat in 2023’’.
‘’Kogi APC is already heading for the rocks occasioned by its parochialism, deceit and betrayal of the people’s mandate. We will not subscribe to anything evil in 2023. The voters are interested in the emergence of an honest, consistent and credible woman as Kogi Central senator in 2023’’
They applauded her for bringing smiles on the faces of Kogi people.
‘’Kogi Central is about to be emancipated from anti-development forces’’
The youths urged the electorate to come out and vote in February and March, 2023.
‘’We are waiting for the National Assembly election. We know Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan will win. The people will vote for PDP’’
They also urged Nigerians to ignore fake stories sponsored by Kogi APC lepers in Abuja and Lokoja.
