Kogi: JP gov candidate pledges support for Wada

THE Kogi State governorship candidate of the Justice Party in the last December governorship election, Hajia Aisha Eleojo-Audu, has pledged the support of her party to the state governor, Captain Idris Wada. Hajia Eleojo-Audu disclosed this in a chat with newsmen, shortly after she met behind closed door with Governor Idris Wada at the Government House, Lokoja.She said: 'Myself and my party are fully behind you. As a peace loving woman, who has the interest of Kogi State at heart, I came to the Government House to see our governor, Captain Idris Wada, to express our support to his administration in the task of transforming our beloved state.'She added: 'Kogi State governorship election is over and we now have a brand new governor in person of Captain Wada, who needs the support of everybody. That is the reason I am in the Government House to offer our own support for him and join hand with him [Wada] in the task ahead.'The former governorship candidate appealed to the governor to run an open door policy style of administration so that people with good ideas could contribute meaningfully to the overall success of his administration.To this end, she called on all aggrieved politicians to drop their litigation in various courts across the country and embrace dialogue, which she said was the best way in resolving differences they might have with the governor.On why she withdrew her petition from the tribunal, Eleojo-Audu explained that her decision was based on the fact that she wanted peace to reign in the state and for the new governor not to be detracted with series of court case despite the pressure from opposition within the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) urging her to pursue her case to a logical conclusion.
