Senator Smart Adeyemi of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has called on the party members to give their best to win next Saturday’s Kogi West supplementary poll.
The Herald gathered that Adeyemi made this known on Friday, November 22, in Lokoja, on the sideline of INEC’s pronouncement of the date of the exercise.
The Senator stated that despite having a comfortable lead, the party must not give in to overconfidence, but should rather double its efforts.
According to him, “We as party members must mobilize and fight like never before, for the remaining votes. We must commence house to house move and telephone contact of the 30,000 PVC holders.
“We must not look at the supplementary election with a view that our opponent is politically paralyzed by now. We must work towards capturing at least 90 percent of the vote.
“Our aim is to get 30,000 out of the 31,000 PVC holders of the 40,000 registered voters in the affected areas; whether our opponents are ready or not is secondary.”
“I sincerely thank you for your support and solidarity in the last Saturday outing, my full address will be after the rerun election is concluded.
“But for now, let us resume with more vigour and determination in our efforts towards the November 30 supplementary election. Let us go from house to house to mobilize people out for the exercise. We must give the election our all.”
