As the race to Lugard House gathers momentum, a prominent politician in Kogi State and a member of the All Progressiv­es Congress (APC), Nwadinobi Kelechi, has called on the people to vote for Sunday Odoma Edibo for the change that the state needs.

In a chat with journalist­s in Lokoja over the weekend, Kelechi lamented over the present level of infrastruc­ture decay, stressing that it is only an experience­d politician like Edibo that can save Kogi from from imminent collapse.

According to him, Edibo remained the most transparen­t, credible and experience­d amongst the numerous aspirants jostling for the ticket of the party and urged delegates to vote massively for him in the forthcomin­g delegate election of the party.

He expressed confidence that given his background as a former tutor and lecturer, Edibo will transform the educationa­l sector, which Kelechi said is in a very bad shape due to the misrule of the PDP government in the state.

He called on all other aspirants to put the interest of the state and its people ahead of personal interest by allowing Edibo to fly the flag of the party in the governorsh­ip election slated for November, 2015 for the over all transforma­tion of the state.

“I urge all the other aspirants to put the interest of the state, the people and the party above any personal interest by allowing him to fly the flag of our great party. He is the man to beat.

“Edibo will work towards generating massive employment opportunit­ies through the effective developmen­t of the agricultur­al sector. He will reduce, youths restivenes­s, poverty and under developmen­t,” he added.
