The National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party, Governors elected under the platform of the party and lawmakers have been called upon to save Kogi state chapter from disintegration.
Addressing newsmen in Abuja on Thursday, Hon. Muhammad Sani Gambo, who said he is the rightful person to occupy the state chairmanship position, said the assumed winner, Enemona Anyebe, has been suspended by the party over anti-party activities before the state congress took place.
Hon. Gambo, who displayed the copies of court cases where the assumed winner’s nomination form was ordered to be retrieved and his appeal, wondered how such a person would be declared winner during the state congress held in the state.
He stated that the only to save the party from the onslaught of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is to ensure the party upholds the principle of fairness, justice and equity.
He noted that the PDP should abide by the rule of law to salvage the country from the hands of APC.
“We can achieve this only on the principle of fairness, justice and equity in all our doings. PDP has no business being in opposition If only we abide by the rule of law and call a spade-a-spade, no matter whose ox is gored.
“We are immensely grateful to the party for the conduct of the last PDP state congress. The congress was free and fair and the outcome well accepted by all the contestants except for one position, the chairmanship. What baffles us is the needless, avoidable and unnecessary interest by the sponsors of Hon. Anyebe, the assumed winner.
“The said person was suspended by the party by his local government excos, affirmed by the state excos in 2019 and again by his ward exco in 2024 all on account of anti-party,” he said.
