The All Progressives Congress, APC, has chided the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, saying it was an empty stadium as the PDP, flagged off its gubernatorial campaign.The event which had PDP governors and party top guns including the chairman, Uche Secondus, Engineer Wada, the candidate of the PDP is challenging the incumbent, Yahaya Bello of APC.

The APC claimed it was a poor outing and said it is believed to be as a result of the unacceptance of Mr Wada by PDP members in the state.

It was equally alleged by the APC that most PDP members stayed away because they feel Musa Wada’s candidature would perpetuate a family dynasty on a progressive state like Kogi as well as the reoccurring violence that greets PDP events in the state.
