The lawmaker said the suffering masses already inflicted with poverty were set to vote him out of office in 2019.
Speaking at a meeting of stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Kogi West senatorial district, held at the residence of a former Secretary to Kogi state Government, Hon Musa Ahmadu, Karimi said the current suffering in the state was unprecedente.
According to him, the level of suffering in the state had made the people become beggars and should be source of worry to well-meaning residents of the state.
Claiming that the PDP would take over power in the state in 2019, the lawmaker reportedly lamented the plight of workers in the state.
He noted that the workers had not been paid their salaries, the pensioners are owed several months of pension, while the living standard of the citizens in the state is a cause for worry.
