Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for chairperson, Capt. Joe Agada, has called the Kogi State Congress “illegal, fraudulent, null and void.”
Agada, who addressed a press briefing in Lokoja, alleged that the congress lacked credibility and adherence to party guidelines. He claimed that his group had proof of illegality and anomalies in the delegates’ selection process.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
“The basic bloc of the State Congress, which is the Three-Man Ad-hoc Ward Delegate Congress, was marred with grave anomalies and impersonation of Returning officers from FCT, Nassarawa, Imo, and Kano States,” Agada said.
He stressed that the accreditation process was manipulated, and non-statutory delegates were used across the 21 local government areas of Kogi State.
According to Vanguard, Agada noted that his group had written to the PDP State Congress Appeal Panel, notifying them of the anomalies and their decision not to participate in the “illegal” congress.
“We will approach the Court because the injuries done to our aspirations cannot be compensated by quantum damages in lieu of financial compensation,” Agada said.
He also accused the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, of using his influence to cause crises in Kogi and 10 other states during the PDP State congresses.
“Wike is the man behind the PDP crises in Kogi and 10 other states. The PDP at the national level has not been bold enough to sanction Wike, and one single person is holding the entire party to ransom,” Agada warned.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
