Apparently not comfortable with the decision by the leadership of PDP to jettison the outcome of the governorship primaries, protesters from Kogi State under the aegis, Kogi PDP Frontiers, yesterday, stormed Wadata House national secretariat of the party to register their grievances.

The protest is coming from members in the camp of Jibrin Isah (Echocho) against the backdrop that the group is kicking against fresh primaries in the state.

Speaking with journalists, leader of the Kogi PDP Frontiers, Mr. Johnson Musa, who noted that the people of Kogi State were planning mass defection from PDP if the 2010 governorship primary that produced Alhaji Jibrin Isah Echocho as the PDP candidate was not upheld.

 According to Johnson Musa , “the last primaries had produced unequivocally and unanimously elected a candidate in the person of Alhaji Jibrin Isah. He was presented with the party flag at Lafia during President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign in the north central zone”.

“Now what is about to happen is that our party wants to give the ticket to an unpopular candidate, the implication is that the opposition party in the state will have a field day on the December 3 elections”

“We have come to proclaim that the idea of a re-run primary is unpopular and will only result in mass exodus of votes to the opposition. Already, there are pointers to an impending protest votes because of the decision to change the PDP candidate.

“The PDP is about to lose Kogi State because we are going to mobilize for mass exodus. We will not recognise any other counterfeit candidate. Alhaji Jibrin Isah is the only candidate we know”.
