The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended the three ad-hoc delegate congresses scheduled across the 239 wards of Kogi State, due to irregularities.
The decision was communicated through a letter dated July 27, 2024, and signed by Senator Laah Dajuma, Chairman of the party’s Caretaker Committee.
The letter, addressed to the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Lokoja, Kogi State, states, “Sequel to our earlier notification to you for the conduct of the 3 Ad-hoc delegates in Kogi State, we write to bring to your attention a grave anomaly that occurred before the exercise in the state by one Rt. Hon. Dr. Boyelayefa Dabekeme.”
The PDP has raised concerns about the integrity of the congresses after it was revealed that officiating officers arrived with impersonators purportedly posing as returning officers from Nasarawa State, FCT, Imo, and Kano State.
The development, according to the PDP, compromised the congress and rendered the entire process null and void.
The party assured that it would notify INEC of the new date for the congresses once the issues are resolved.
