Kogi State Governor, Idris Wada has said that President Muhammadu Buhari’s popularity would not help the All Progressives Congress (APC) win the upcoming governorship elections in the state.

Wada also said that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which he belongs to, is the most popular in the state.

The governor made the comments on Thursday, August 20, 2015, at the PDP’s national headquarters where he went to pay for his nomination form.

Wada said:

“You could observe that while Buhari won the presidential election in Kogi state, PDP clearly won the state assembly positions. That shows that PDP is clearly on the ground in the state.”

“You can see the number of people that came here to support me, I did not invite anybody, that shows that the PDP is alive in Kogi. By the grace of God, we will win the forthcoming election.”

“No doubt, having the APC president will have impact on the election, I am confident that our people will vote massively for PDP. Definitely, Buhari’s popularity won’t help the APC.”

Buhari’s victory in the 2015 elections is believed to have helped the APC secure many governorship seats in the country.
