The Kogi State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has condemned the destruction of its campaign billboards across the state by those it described as enemies of progress and people unfit to reside among human beings. SaharaReporters reported on Friday how hoodlums believed to be loyal to the Kogi State government destroyed the campaign billboards of Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, Kogi Central Senatorial candidate of the PDP, in some local government areas.
He said this is another wasteful scheme better described as a conduit pipe that had exposed road users’ lives to unnecessary dangers.
“We, therefore, advise Yahaya Bello to borrow a leave from the PDP in the state on how it successfully completed the notorious Meme bridge and others without exposing the lives of good people to any danger,” he advised.
He called on the Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON) and Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) to come to the aid of the people of Kogi State to investigate the failed bridge to avoid other impending dangers to human lives arising from the construction of substandard projects and to ensure that standards are complied with.
