Collect vote buyers’ money, vote against them, Obi tells Kogi electorate

The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has urged the electorate in Kogi state to vote against those who try to induce them in next year’s election.

Obi disclosed this on Tuesday while addressing his supporters during a campaign rally at Confluence Stadium in Lokoja, Kogi state.

He said, “If they bring money, collect their money but vote against them at the polls. Tell them we want to follow those who know the road. Tell them that you are tired of being in the wilderness.”

Meanwhile, he promised to increase the national minimum wage and revive the moribund Ajaokuta Steel Company to give strong backing to the economy.
