In Lokoja, the PDP governorship candidate met with women and youths to assure them that all campaign promises made will be fulfilled if given the chance to lead the state through the electoral boxes.

Kogi State will join its counterparts, Imo and Bayelsa, to the polls on Saturday, November 11 2023, as INEC is deploying 46,084 staff for the elections, while the Nigerian police force said 40,000 of its personnel will be mobilized to give security coverage for the governorship election in the state.
