The second term ambition of Governor Idris Wada of Kogi State received a boost Monday, as the Kogi PDP Elders Advisory Council has endorsed him for a second term in office.
The endorsement was announced by the chairman of the council, former Governor Ibrahim Idris, at a news briefing on Monday in Lokoja.
Idris, the immediate past governor of the state, said the elders have also resolved to allow Kogi West or Kogi Central to produce the next governorship candidate of the party in 2019.
According to Idris, the elders and some critical stakeholders in the party from across the state took the decision at a meeting held in Lokoja on Aug. 16, adding that the elders decided to throw their weight behind Wada because of his good performance and quality leadership.
The former governor also disclosed that the adoption of power rotation from 2019 was to end alleged marginalization and ensure justice, fairness and equity in the distribution of political positions in the party, adding that the elders have resolved to mobilize the people of the state to vote for the PDP in the governorship election slated for Nov. 21.
Among those on the attendance list of the Lokoja meeting were the state party Chairman, Mr Sam Ohuotu, Chief Shola Akanmode, retired Lt.-Gen. Salihu Ibrahim, Chief Moses Okino, Chief Shola Ojo, Alhaji Musa Amodu, Chief Patrick Adaba among others.
