The crisis rocking the Kogi State Chapter of the People’s Democratic Party has reached a high point as 13 chairmanship aspirants on Tuesday rejected the consensus candidate to lead the party in the state.
A committee comprising of former governors and party leaders had endorsed Mr Enemona Anyebe as the consensus candidate for the PDP chairmanship position in the state.
Addressing a press conference in Lokoja on Tuesday, the spokesperson, forum of Kogi state PDP chairmanship aspirants Aruwa Ismaila, said the purported endorsement of Anyebe as the party’s consensus candidate for the office of the state chairman was blatantly misleading and only existed in the imagination of their sponsors.
Ismaila said, “It has therefore become imperative to issue this rebuttal so that the unsuspecting public and particularly our PDP supporters and members are not misled, misguided and sold a dummy. We rejected outrightly, especially on the issue of the elders going outside their mandate to source for and nominate one Mr Anyebe from Olamaboro as consensus candidate at the scantly attended meeting of Kogi East critical stakeholders held at Lokoja on Monday, 29 April 2024, when the Elders Review Report on zoning was presented on their behalf.
