Kogi State Governor, Idris Wada, on
Wednesday pleaded with President
Muhammadu Buhari to ensure level playing
field in the forthcoming gubernatorial
elections in the state.
Wada is the Peoples Democratic Party's
candidate in the November election.
His major challenger in the election is
former governor Abubakar Audu of the All
Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking with State House correspondents
after a meeting with President Buhari at the
Presidential Villa, Abuja, the governor said
his performance in office in the last three
and half years would also speak for him.
Stressing that preparations for the elections
are in top gear, Wada said he is working to
ensure adequate security and transparent
poll, which he believed Buhari would also
support.
He said: "In terms of preparation, we are
working hard. I am also working with
security agencies to ensure that there is a
secure and safe environment for our people
in the course of the campaign and during
the election.
"I will tell the people of the state to keep
faith because we have a transparent
President.
"Provided a level playing field is created and
security is tightened, any miscreant dealt
with in the course of the election and people
given the opportunity to express their will, I
believe that on the basis of performance I
have laid down over the last three and a half
years, our people will provide an
overwhelming support for my candidacy. All
we need is a level playing fields.
