The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kogi state, Engineer Musa Wada, has said he was determined to unravel the alleged sharp practices currently going on in the state if elected as governor during the November 16 poll.
He said this had made the present leadership in the state desperate to retain power so that the people of the state will continue on the trend of maladministration.
Wada, who stated this on Sunday, said he would beam a complete searchlight on the four years of the Yahaya Bello administration in the state.
The PDP’s candidate told the people of the state not to leave any stone unturned, so as to bring to book the darkest four years in the life of Kogi state, were salaries and pensions are now a privilege and not rights.
He urged the masses to push out this crop of leaders, who never meant well for the people, but using their platforms as APC members to defraud the people
Wada said: “What is bad is bad, as the pretence of paying salaries to cleared staff of the government, leaving those owed for over 40 months as election fever, that has confronted the present administration, as the worst will happen when re-elected.

“As far as I am concerned, I will probe the four years administration of Governor Yahaya Bello and his cohorts, as I will be determined to unravel many sharp practices of the present administration.”
Wada cautioned the organised labour not to allow the present administration to drag them into a decision that is inimical to the workers
“Kogi state government has been going round to cajole the labour leaders into unholy agreement to support their cause to return to Lugard house, the issue is beyond the leaders in the current order.
“There will be no Otukpa or Onyagede accord and agreement between the labour and the state government or rather any political bigwig as we will collectively resolve to install a new government.
“Gone were the days, when politicians will be dragged to neighbouring states of Benue, Enugu, Kwara, Ondo and Edo to negotiate the fate of Kogites, as enough is now enough.”
According to Wada, the level of decadence in all areas of life was enough pointer to bring to book the records of the previous administration.
“Gone were the days when projects will be flagged off and not completed or haphazard virements all in the name of diversion, we must tidy up our records for public scrutiny,” he said.
