Members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kabba/Bunu local government area of Kogi State have been called upon to hold the the party leaders responsible should the party fail to win the 2019 general elections.
The PDP Youth Vanguard (PYV) Kabba/Bunu raised the alarm over the imposition of Hon. Alfred Bello by the leaders out of their selfish arrangements.
In a statement signed by Hon. Moses Aiyetehin, the group said the leadership of the Kabba-Bunu PDP have again, out of their malicious and selfish arrangements, failed at addressing the issue of imposition of candidate for the House of Assembly seat.
“The leaders called all the House of Assembly aspirants to a meeting at Dr Steve Olorunfemi’s Kabba residence on Sunday the 26th of August, 2018 at 6pm. The unfortunate thing about the meeting, as been rumoured by some of the leaders, was that they were in a bid to announce their support for one of the aspirants, Alfred Bello.
“The leaders all failed to show up at the meeting leaving all aspirants except their planned imposed candidate, Alfred Bello stranded at the the meeting venue. It is most unfortunate that they couldn’t even stand to face other aspirants on their decisions.
“Let us be emphatically clear that there is no constitutional provision, either from the federal republic of Nigeria or the PDP as a party that have a space for leaders. This means that the position of leaders are not known anywhere in our democratic space.
“Let us not forget that in 2014, prior to the general elections, that this was the same way the acclaimed and self imposed leaders decided and supported Mr Nathaniel Taiwo for House of Assembly against the wish of other aspirants and the public. Unfortunately, they failed the same way they would fail again now, but our party (PDP) will win the elections.
“To keep the records straight, the people of both communities of Kabba and Bunu must be aware that leaders like Dr Steven Olorunfemi, Joseph Dada, Chief Elebiyo, Dr Medubi, Ben Olorunfemi and Engr Bello must be held responsible should any thing happen during the House of Assembly primaries or the PDP fails in the general elections.
“Some of this leaders like, Dr Steve Olorunfemi, Chief Elebiyo, Joseph Dada and Dr Medubi are, from a reliable source, known to have met with the current speaker of the Kogi State House of Assembly, Mr Kolawole Matthew in a closed door meeting where the speaker had given them the sum of Three Million naira (₦3,000,000 ) to ensure that Alfred Bello picks the party primaries.
“This arrangement was to ensure that the APC wins in the general election since Alfred Bello was never a factor within the both communities to win any election. The speaker sees this as opportunity to ride high and win,” he said.
