KOGI REMAIN A PDP STATE – PDP zonal chair

-

 

“It is unfortunate that we lost the last Governorship election along with the district rerun election to the rigging power of APC.


 

“Though we challenged both in court, but our judiciary being what they are affirmed the election that witnessed the most physical and scientific rigging in the history of election in the state.

“However, we are focused on subsequent elections. We are re-strategizing for the next stage of the election starting from the council election that the state electoral body had just released the date. We are not losing hope because it is not that the party did not perform up to expectation of its supporters.”

Omofe also said the party has begun a journey for true reconciliation of aggrieved party members who fell out of the party due to positions.

He called on all the party members to join hands with the leadership of the party towards building a more united front that will reclaim the state and other areas, saying Kogi remained a PDP state.

Following its loss in the last year Governorship and Kogi West rerun senatorial election, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kogi state says it is re-strategizing for the polls ahead, starting from the scheduled December 12, council elections in the state.

Vice Chairman of the Party for Kogi West, Prince Benson Omofe made this known in Lokoja at the executive meeting of the party.

Omofe replaces the late vice chairman for the zone, Mr. Taiwo Kola-Ojo who died in January this year said the party has put up strategies to reclaim lost grounds.

 Former media aide to Atiku Abubakar, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Daniel Bwala, has faulted the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission… Bwala said the EFCC had all mechanisms and intelligence to arrest Bello, stressing that its officials should have used the approach of capturing the former Imo state governor, Rochas Okorocha, in 2022. In May 2022, the EFCC officials broke through the roof of Okorocha’s house to arrest him for allegations of corruption, after six hours of laying siege in his house. Atiku’s ex-aide made this known via his X account on Friday, in reaction to the anti-graft agency declaring Bello wanted on Thursday following the failed attempt to effect his arrest at his Abuja residence. Recall that EFCC urged the public to provide information on Bello’s whereabouts after he was whisked away by his successor, Ahmed Ododo, on Wednesday. The agency had declared him wanted for offences relating to economic and financial crim
