Nasarawa PDP Reschedules Campaign Flag-off

Nasarawa State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rescheduled its campaign flag off ahead of 2023 general election following an alleged disapproval by the Nigeria police.

The party had fixed Monday, November 28, to begin their campaign in Toto local government council of the state, but had to reschedule to Tuesday, November 29, 2022.

The chairman of the party in the state, Hon Francis Orogu gave the hint at a press conference in Karu local government council.

He said that the party had sought and gotten approval from the Police to hold the rally on November, 28 in Toto.

He said arrangements were being concluded for the event as the party got a letter from the commissioner of Police, Maiyaki Mohammed-Baba on Friday that the rally would not be allowed to hold.

According to him, “the commissioner of police said he was informed by the Toto local government chairman that he is not aware of our coming. This is laughable, and democratically mischievous because we know that the commissioner  of Police knows that the chairman of a local government has no space under the electoral Act to be informed and secure permission to campaign in his local government.”
