The
Governor of Kogi State, Capt. Idris Wada, has declared his readiness for the November
21 governorship poll, if given the nod by the People’s Democratic Party
(PDP) to fly its flag, saying he is battle ready to defeat any opponent.
Wada,
who is vying for a second term, disclosed this during an interactive session
with journalists in Abuja.
According
to the governor, he has prudently managed the resources of the state in the
face of dwindling revenue from the federation account to the state for policies
and projects with direct bearing on the people.
Wada
said the people of the state will assess him based on the available resources
at his disposal to provide service to the people, saying that he offered
himself to the service of the people to make life meaningful for them.
His
words: “This is the only reason I am here. For me, leadership is about service
to the people. Once you are selfless, the people will be with you.”
When
asked if he is scared about facing a former governor in the November 21 governorship
poll, Wada said he is prepared for any opponent in the election.
“I
am certainly not scared of anybody. We have done it before during the last
governorship election. We must remember that power comes from God and he gives
it to which he pleases”.
