As other states hold local government congresses, a pressure group within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), PDP Frontliners, has urged the party’s national leadership to urgently disband the Kogi PDP Caretaker Committee for allegedly plotting to alter results of the recent ward congresses.

The group claimed that the party narrowly escaped manipulations by the caretaker committee that would have caused “serious implosion” in its Kogi State chapter this weekend.

President of the group, Alhaji Hussein Mohammed, in a jointly-signed statement with the secretary, Mr Moses Abidemi and the publicity secretary, Mr Dan Okafor, said despite opposition by 18 out of the 21 PDP chairmen in various local government areas of Kogi State, the caretaker committee led by Senator Laah Danjuma (chairman) and the secretary, Senator Philip Gyunka insisted on replacing the results of an ad-hoc delegates conference of Saturday, July 27, 2024 with a manipulated process hurriedly slated for yesterday.

LEADERSHIP had on Friday reported that PDP chairmen in the 21 local government councils of the state called for the sack of the caretaker committee in a jointly-signed petition under the aegis of Forum of Chairmen led by Hon Abejirin Olajide Johnson, to the PDP national chairman, Amb Umar Damagum, dated July 29, 2024.

They accused the caretaker committee of lying that the Ad-Hoc Delegates Congress held in the state was not peaceful and didn’t adhere strictly to the party’s constitution and guidelines.

Reacting, PDP Frontliners accused the caretaker committee of planning an illegal act, stressing that only the National Working Committee (NWC) through the national organising secretary (NOS), has jurisdiction over state congresses as enshrined in the party’s guidelines.

 

It accused the committee of attempting to manipulate the Kogi PDP for “a failed presidential aspirant”, by trying to replace ward and local government congresses’ results with the exercise slated for this weekend.

 

The group further said the committee’s plan failed because the PDP NWC acted promptly on the petition of the local government chairmen from the state.
