A former Kogi state governor Ibrahim Idris has said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would kick out the Governor Yahaya Bello-led administration in the 2019 general election.
Speaking to newsmen at his residence in Lokoja, Idris said it is sad that PDP lost the 2015 governorship election due to internal crisis as a result of the imposition of candidates.
The former governor, however, expressed surprise over the level of peoples’ support and acceptability for the PDP in the state.
The PDP chieftain said the next governorship polls would be a walkover for the party as a landslide victory was assured.
Idris said: ”In 2019, by the grace of God, PDP will field a governorship candidate that is young, focused, highly educated, intelligent, dynamic who will listen to the pieces of advice from elderly and experienced people and above all who will have the fear of God.
”We will not field somebody who will tear the state apart, neither shall we bring somebody that will spread hunger and starvation, but somebody that will wipe away our poverty and make the state great again.
”The elders say it is when a man marries the second wife that he knows who is better , we as a party have learnt our lesson and the electorates also have learnt their lesson that Kogi state is safer and secured in the hands of PDP.”
