The political group in Ijumu local government area of Kogi State, Ogidi Omo Movement, has denounced the Chairman of All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ijumu, Hon. Taufiq Isah over his alleged persistent political mischief.
In a communique issued at the end of her extra-rodinary meeting in Iyara on Sunday, the group asked Taufiq to use his purported closeness to Governor-elect Yahaya Bello to collect the N100, 000 owed each delegate during the last governorship primary, being the value of the promissory notes Alh. Yahaya Bello failed to redeem.
The group, in a bid to set records straight, asked Taufiq Isah to make public the time and venue where the decision was taken by Ijumu people to pitch their tent with Alh. Yahaya Bello. Failure to do this, the group said will prove to the whole world that Taufiq is leading a dubious phantom group.

COMMUNIQUE ISSUED AT THE END OF THE EXTRA-ORDINARY MEETING OF “OGIDI OMO MOVEMENT” IJUMU LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA HELD IN IYARA ON SUNDAY 24TH JANUARY 2016
HON. TAUFIQ ISAH’s SHENANIGANS
Due to the recalcitrance of Hon. Taufiq Isah and his persistent mischievous interventions in the current political crisis triggered by the inconclusive saga it has become imperative for the political movement that propelled him to correct the misleading impression Hon. Taufiq Isah might have created in the mind of the people and wish to reiterate as follow;
1. That Hon. Isah has not called for any Exco meeting at the wards and Local government level and neither has he consulted anyone. Even the ones convened he refused to attend which makes all his actions and utterances so far mere expressions of personal opinion
2. He is hereby denounced by this group for acting on his own; may be because he cannot call a meeting and achieve 50% attendance either at ward or LG level
3. The group dares him to test the veracity of this claim to confirm how popular his present conduct is
4. That his chairmanship of the party in the LGA and coordinator position of AYB during the primary was through the instrumentality of this group and what is expected of him in the first instance is to collect the N100, 000 owed each delegate during the primary being the value of the promissory notes Alh. Yahaya Bello failed to redeem
5. That Hon. Taufiq Isah should make public the time and venue where the decision was taken by Ijumu people to pitch their tent with Alh. Yahaya Bello and in the absence of this, display his phantom group he dubiously claims is supporting his principal
6. That the group denounces his ultimatum and regard it as the pronouncement of a confused man that needs to be pitied
7. That while Hon. Isah can go ahead with his scavenging duties obviously out of greed but should continue on his lonely path and stop misrepresenting the position of this group on this matter or risk expulsion from the group
8. That the OGIDI OMO group which Hon. Isah belongs being the single largest sub-political structure in Ijumu LGA with 70% of the executive members at the wards and majority at the LG level aligns itself with the position of the majority in support of Hon. James Faleke. We are totally committed and unwavering in our support for Hon. Faleke in the quest to reclaim the hijacked mandate.
OGIDI OMO political family hereby implore our people to remain calm and keep faith with the struggle and remain unperturbed by the mischief of a few rapacious individuals who have lost touch with reality on the desires of the people.
