Ahead of Kogi state governorship election scheduled for November 21, 2015, and the ward congresses for the state chapter of the party for next week Tuesday and Wednesday, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has promised to be fair to all the aspirants.
Disclosing this shortly after Kogi state Governor, Idris Wada, met with the party National Working Committee (NWC), the party spokesman, Olisa Metuh, said it was agreed that the ward congresses should hold on Tuesday and Wednesday, next week.
The ward congresses would kick-start the process of producing delegates for the party’s primaries ahead of the governorship election in Kogi state.
Metuh also said that NWC has “promised that they will be fair to all members of the party in the state ahead of the congresses.”
While the ward congresses were supposed to hold yesterday, the PDP cancelled the Ward Congresses held on June 27, this year.
Although the party declined to state why it cancelled the congresses, it was gathered that the process was lopsided in favour of the governor.
The governor, in company of his deputy, Yomi Awoniyi, however, rushed to the party’s headquarters apparently over the cancellation.
