Governor of Kogi state, Idris Wada, of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday urged President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure a level playing field in the forthcoming gubernatorial elections in the state.

Addressing newsmen after a meeting with President Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, the Governor said that his performance in office in the last three and half years will speak for him.

Stressing that preparations for the elections are in top gear, Wada said that he is working to ensure adequate security and transparent poll, which he believed Buhari would also support.

"In terms of preparation, we are working hard. I am also working with security agencies to ensure that there is a secure and safe environment for our people in the course of the campaign and during the election.

"I will tell the people of the state to keep faith because we have a transparent President.

"Provided a level playing field is created and security is tightened, any miscreant dealt with in the course of the election, people given the opportunity to express their will, I believe that on the basis of performance I have laid down over the last three and a half years, our people will provide an overwhelming support for my candidacy. All we need is a level playing field," he noted.
