BREAKING: Audu Wins Kogi Governorship Election
Category: Kogi News
Based on results released at the Local Government level, Abubakar Audu of the All Progressives Congress has won the Kogi State governorship election, beating incumbent Governor Idris Wada of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Results released from Kogi West senatorial district show that the APC candidate won six LGAs as against one won by the PDP candidate.
In Kogi East, Audu also trounced Wada by winning six out of the nine LGAs while in Kogi Central he beat his PDP rival by winning three out of the five LGAs.
Victory of Audu may not have come as a surprise given the strength of the opposition party in Kogi State, not many people gave the governor-elect the slightest chance to pull through such a strong showing across the three senatorial districts of the state.
Top on the list of the factors that led to the fall of Wada was his inability to pay workers salaries, especially council workers and primary school teachers.
With the population multipliers of these segments of the workforce, it is practically impossible to win any election without the support of the labour community.
Though the governor explained the reasons behind the inability of Local Government Councils to pay their workers, many of the workers felt the governor was the factor behind their inability to receive salaries.
Insiders informed Vanguard that the governor didn’t pay due attention to the political segment of his governance. A source who craved anonymity said the governor didn’t behave like someone who wanted a second term.
He said: “At a time, we thought this government was not interested in second term. The governor didn’t do enough to keep the PDP family together. He was completely disconnected from all of us and the result is what we have seen today.
“Though I didn’t believe we could lose this election, we have lost and we need to regroup to face the future. The people of Kogi State has made a big mistake by voting Audu. We will be back in 2019 but the plan must start from now”.
