Kogi guber: Senator Abatemi-Usman obtains APC form

Senator Nurudeen Abatemi-Usman said he decided to join the race for the Kogi Government House because of his desire to salvage the state from its present state of underdevelopment and make it one of the frontline states in Nigeria.

Speaking after picking the nomination form at the All Progressives Congress (APC), National Secretariat, in Abuja, preparatory to the forthcoming governorship primary election scheduled to hold on August 29, Abatemi-Usman lamented that Kogi has never had a good governor since the return of democracy in 1999 and way back in 19991 when the state was created.

“We have been so unfortunate in Kogi State since it was created on August 27, 1991. We have never been lucky to have good leaders in the helms of affairs. And so, we have been in a complete state of backwardness and retardation in terms of infrastructural and economic development.

Those who had been privileged to be at the corridors of power in the state lacked the vision and foresight of how to bring about the overall advancement of our dear Kogi State.

“This is why I am coming out on the platform of our great party, APC to take over Kogi from the hands of this incompetent set of people who have left us in this sorry state of outright underdevelopment where Kogites cannot be proud of their own state. We cannot continue like this.

The time for change in Kogi State has come,” Abatemi-Usman maintained.

The 44-year-old governorship aspirant expressed confidence that he would win the primary poll and become the candidate of APC for the guber election holding on November 21.

The aspirant hinged his optimism on the decision of the leadership of the party to create a level playing field for all the contestants, without penciling down anybody as the anointed candidate.
