Captain Idris Wada
After spending about 60 days in a hospital in Abuja, following an auto crash, which led to him sustaining varying degrees of injuries, the Governor of Kogi State, Idris Wada, has finally returned to the state.
The Governor who was accompanied by his wife, Alima, and deputy, Yomi Awoniyi, arrived Lokoja, the state capital in a long motorcade and was received at the Jamata bridge end of the Lokoja-Abuja Expressway, by an enthusiastic crowd.
Addressing the elated crowd at the gate of the Lugard Hall Lodge, in Lokoja, the state capital, the Governor expressed appreciation to the people of the state for showing their support and love towards him and his administration during the period he was convalescing in Abuja.
“I am back on my two feet now, looking forward to work and move forward our state to the next level,” he said.
“My own dear people, let me express my deepest and sincere appreciation to God and you people for your prayers. God has indeed heard your prayers. Let me assure you all that I shall dedicate myself totally to the services
of the state,” Wada added.
Also speaking at the occasion, the Chairman of the Kogi State branch of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Hassan Sallauh, commended the Deputy Governor, Mr. Awoniyi for keeping faith with the Governor and the party by holding forth while the Governor was away.
He said the Deputy Governor had shown exemplary courage, candour and loyalty by his responsible conduct during the period.
It would be recalled that the governor was on December 28, 2012 involved in an auto crash, which claimed the life of his Aide-de-Camp (ADC).
