Netizens from Kogi State have reacted to pictures of some youths on the streets with Governorship campaign posters of Abdulkareem Jamiu Asuku, the Chief of Staff to Governor Yahaya Bello.
The youths in their numbers bandied the posters of Asuku, flanked by the Presidential and Vice-presidential candidates of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Kashim Shettima respectively.
“Vision 2023, support Pharm. Muhammad Abdulkareem Jamiu Asuku for Governor Kogi State. Powered by Suleiman Jamaludeen Mohammed (AK),” were the printed texts on the posters.
Asuku who hails from Okene Local Government Area of the state, same as the incumbent Governor, was first appointed and as the Director-General Protocol to the Governor, and elevated in Bello’s second term to the position of the Chief of Staff after the former occupant, Edward Onoja became the Deputy Governor of the state.
While it is not yet due for Kogi Governorship campaigns, netizens have reacted to the pictures circulating on social media, some describing it as sponsored political scheme, and the others indifferent.
