Ex-Kogi Governor’s Son Vows To Oust Yahaya Bello

Mustapha Audu, and the son of former governor of Kogi State, Prince Abubakar Audu, has declared his intention to contest for the governorship election in the state.

Speaking at his declaration ceremony on Wednesday in Lokoja, Mustapha said he has come to rescue Kogi people from hunger and starvation.

Mustapha, a businessman, said he decided to offer himself to serve the people because he was touched by the level of poverty in the state as the All Progressives Congress-led administration had failed the people.

He explained how his father struggled so much to develop the state.

He also expressed regret that all the legacies his father left behind had been plundered and reduced to nothing.

He said, “Kogi people are tired of hunger, unpaid salaries and frequent suicides by civil servant owing to non-payment of salaries, Our people deserve better treatment.”

The aspirant who is contesting on the platform of Young Progressive Party (YPP) said if elected, he would provide employment opportunities for the teeming youths, open the rural areas through massive road construction, and take the state to enviable heights.
