Recently sacked councillors in Kogi State are currently muting the idea of yielding to pressure by decamping enmasse to All Progressive Congress (APC).
The former councillors, who are mainly members of ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), are reportedly meeting with stakeholders with a view to decide their political future.
The displaced councillors met under the umbrella of the National Councillors Forum, Kogi State Chapter and the Council Leaders Forum to decide on exodus move to APC owing on the way and manner the State Governor Idris Wada hurriedly enforced the Kogi State High court judgment without regard to the affected persons’ right to appeal as if the High Court judgment conclusively determine the view of the learned judges at the Supereme Court.
This act was seen as lack respect for their right and a near confirmation of several view about the origin of the decision itself. The councillors individually and collectively opposed the way and manner the Governor has since handled the matter and are reportedly prepared for a showdown since it appears the party can no longer protect them.
A close ear to the meeting hinted this may likely bring to bare a mass exodus movement to APC should Governor Idris Ichalla Wada fail to act urgently.
The source further disclose that Capt. Idris Wada had the intelligent report and is currently making move to meet with the entire Councillors Kogi State on the way forward, but on reliable information, the councillors has made up their mind to pursue their case in a competent court possibly against the state.
One of the councillor who spoke with the media on ground of anonymity claimed that the Governor is out to kill the party and has not been talking with them hence left the councillors to live and believe every rumour.
On whether there is hope for amicable understand, the said the only option left is for the councillor to return to office while the Governor allow the appellate court to affirm the judgment of the High court before dissolving the Council.
