November 19, 2019 Press Statement PDP NWC Insists Rigging Of Kogi, Bayelsa Cannot Stand. ...Says Killers of Woman Leader, Acheju Abuh, Will Never Escape Justice The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says that the violent rigging of the Kogi and Bayelsa State governorship elections by the All Progressives Congress (APC) cannot stand. The NWC maintains that there is no way the PDP will fold its hands and watch the mandates clearly given to its candidates, Engr. Musa Wada in Kogi state and Senator Douye Diri in Bayelsa state, left in the hands of repressive usurpers, manipulators and murderers. Indeed, the nation is still at shock over the brazen show of violence, where security forces coordinated the invasion of polling units, shooting and killing of voters and carting away of ballot boxes to government facilities where results were altered and fictitious figures given to INEC to declare the APC candidates as winners. Nigerians watched

The governor-elect, who said this while featuring on Channels Television, also alleged that thugs of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, stabbed a resident after he was declared winner of Saturday’s election. Bello also alleged that the wife of his deputy was also shot at after he emerged winner of the election. He said: “All these reports of me owing salaries are lies. Past governors of Kogi State were owning salaries starting from Audu to my immediate predecessor. Kogi state is not owning any dime at the state level, what is left is the ten percent from the previous government. “As

November 17, 2019 Press Statement Kogi Guber: PDP Rejects Fictitious Results …Issues Stern Caution to INEC The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) issues a stern caution to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) over the fictitious votes being bandied from Okene and other arears to favour the All Progressives Congress (APC). The party demands the immediate cancellation of such allocated results, particularly in Okene Local Government Area. The party maintains that nobody can accept the provocative alteration of results from polling units as well as allocation of fictitious votes, particularly the awarding of 112, 000 votes to APC in Okene. The PDP says the people of Kogi state have glaring evidence of alterations of figures to reduce the vote of the PDP and allocate imported figures to the APC. The party therefore cautions INEC not to ever declare such mutilated results as they will not be accepted by the people. Our party hopes that this apparent moves to a

Treasury looters and corrupt politicians deserve death penalty not social media users - YYSA, Ogun Any leaders in Government that wish not to be criticise should not near the business of leadership or representing the people at any level, hence the social media bill is an anti - people's bill and it is aimed at stifling the voices of Nigerian citizens which we condemn in totality before it arrival. Comrade Faruk Olaotan Shitta, Ogun State Coordinator Yoruba Youth Socio-Cultural Association Worldwide reminded the lawmakers that Nigerians voted for good governance & people oriented Bills.

November 14, 2019 Press Statement El-Rufai’s Apology: APC Admits That Bello Does not Merit Re-election The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says the public apology and kneeling by the Chairman of the APC Kogi state campaign council, Kaduna state Governor Nasir El-Rufai, confirms that even the APC agrees that Governor Yahaya Bello does not merit a second term. The party points out that the genuflection by El-Rufai is also a direct confirmation that the failed Governor Bello cannot lay claim to any genuine vote at the November 16 governorship election. The PDP notes that the Edo State deputy governor, Philip Shuaibu, also knelt before the Kogi people to beg for Yahaya Bello which further shows that it is public knowledge that the governor misused the opportunity given to him to lead the state. Unfortunately, the apology is coming too late in the day and cannot be accepted by the people of Kogi state, whose lives, Yahaya Bello had turned into a living hell in the last four yea

November 12, 2019 Press Statement Kogi Guber: PDP Accuses INEC On Card Readers, Election Procedures …Hands Commission 24 Hours Ultimatum The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) charges the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to end its apparent tilt towards underhandedness in the processes leading to the November 16, Kogi Governorship election.

The court’s decision was, however, coming nine days to the poll. The questions that followed the judgment include: whether INEC would appeal the judgment?

Kogi Guber Poll: Atiku, Apc And The Buhari-Contesting Statistics They Won'T Discuss With You. They say we "deceived" Atiku for believing in his candidacy that he was going to be President in this year 2019, they forgot how their Buhari of today was "deceived" too from 2003 till 2015. I was in primary school when President Buhari of today started running for Office of President, I was finishing University when he finally realised the long sought Presidential ambition. That is the statistics they will never discuss with you. It's only our losses as a "Party in Federal opposition" they see in reference to everything and anything in politics onwards, they cannot let us discuss Buhari in detail and how he ran for Office of President and failed within 12 unshaken years and in each election year he was in court later till the Supreme Court and then he had to wait again for the next Presidential election to run again. They will not tell you how the

November 1st 2019 TAKE CARE OF YOUR IMAGINATIONS, MIND YOUR APC ERRAND BUSINESS, KEEP OFF FROM PDP AFFAIRS, KOGI CENTRAL PDP DIGITAL MEDIA  CAUTIONS TOM OHIKERE The attention of Kogi Central PDP Digital Media Team has been drawn to a statement credited to one Dr. Tom Ohikere, who happens to be one of the spokesman of the APC campaign council in Kogi State. The statement credited to Mr Tom, wherein he claimed that the PDP is indulging in a campaign of calumny is nothing short of reckless, irresponsible, misguided and at best, the aftermath of a one night off in the beer pallor as the former chief of staff to Kogi State Governor once posited about Ohikere. It is a pity as to how the once-mighty Tom Ohikere has become less than somebody who never started anything good in life, no thanks to the plague called APC. Time after time, the PDP in Kogi State have had reasons to find it needful to descend into the gutter with Tom Ohikere but for decency which has been the hallmark and
