Kogi West Initiative for Good Governance, a non-governmental organisation has appealed to the Kogi West Senatorial District electorate to vote en masse for the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP in the forthcoming senatorial election slated for 2023.
The group in a statement by Abubakar Musa and Yomi Samuel Adebola its Chairman and Secretary, said that Hon. Teejay Yusuf the PDP’s candidate for the Kogi West Senatorial Candidate would give good representation to the party at the national level.
The statement reiterated that Teejay has the capacity and good standing in the society and would effectively represent the zone in the red chamber of the National Assembly come 2023.
The statement declared that Hon Teejay who is the incumbent member representing Kabba- Bunu/ Ijumu federal Constituency, would not downgrade the office and assured that he would defend the interests of the zone effectively and would not be swayed by personal aggrandisement.
The statement added: “Lawmaking is all about sponsoring bills capable of improving and transforming the society. Those who see the seat of the legislature as a place of creating self-prominence without meaningfully impacting society should not be supported or be voted for. Leadership is to lead and serve and must not be seen as a private business outfit.
“We, therefore, call on the people of Kogi West Senatorial district to rally support for PDP Senatorial Candidate. As a seasoned leader, he is believed to be of the qualities needed in producing a sound Senator who can speak up against bad governance in the National Assembly.”
According to the group, the track record of Yusuf showed that he could immensely impact the people when voted into office in 2023 and emphasised that it was behind the candidature of the candidate.
