looted. “They said there is hunger in the land. Yes, there is hunger
because the PDP looted everything. They want to come back and continue
their looting. “PDP are hungry and desperate to come back to power. They
want to get into power so that they can find a means into looting for
another four years. If you don’t reject them they will come back and
steal. PDP can only thrive in corruption.” The state governor, Yahaya
Bello said the crowd is an acceptance of the party in the state calling
on the people to vote for the party in the general election. The
governor promised the president that he will not only win the state but
will win in all the 239 polling units in the state. Bello said, “The PDP
are already smelling after expanding all they stole. Their is only one
party in Kogi State as far as we are concerned; it is APC. The people
believe in you (Buhari), that was why they tripped out in such a short
notice.” The governor urged the electorates not to reinvent failure in
voting any PDP candidates at any level of tiers of governments. Buhari

taking in cheers and accolades from the exited supporters who trooped
out in large numbers to catch a gleams of the President.
