Let’s finish Kogi West senatorial race with wider margin – Adeyemi urges APC members

Sen. Smart Adeyemi of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has urged his party members not to over relax, but give their all to win the Kogi West supplementary election slated for November 30.

Adeyemi is already leading his PDP opponent, Dino Melaye with over 20O00 votes in the last Saturday rerun election for the senatorial axis.

The senator spoke on Saturday in Lokoja on the sidelines of INEC decision to conclude the rerun exercise on November 30.

The senator said despite having a comfortable lead, the party must not give in to overconfidence, but rather double its efforts to get the remaining votes.

He said: “We as party members must mobilise and fight like never before for the remaining votes. We must commence House to House move, and telephone the 30,000 PVC holders.

“We must not look at the supplementary election with a view that our opponent is politically paralysed by now; rather, we must work towards capturing at least 90 per cent of the votes.

“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.”
