Rabiu Omaku

It was a twist of event at the State Secretariat of the
People’s Democratic Party along Jos road following an outbreak of internal
wranglings caused by the State Chairman, 
Francis Orogu.

A dissagreement erupted following the non availability of
both officials of the party at the national level and State, this development
foist two of the contestant into the office of the party Chairman of the State,
Hon.Jibrin Sabo Keana and Hon.Sidi Bako to organized a press conference at the
party Secretariat titled “PDP CONGRESS FAILS TO HOLD IN NASARAWA
STATE”.

According JSK, revealed that the ward congresses that was
planned by the National Working Committee of our party and scheduled to hold
today 7th , March, 2020 did not hold in Nasarawa State.

This is sequel to the non arrival of electoral officials and
materialfor the exercise in all the wards across the state, Every effort made
to inquire on the non availability of party electoral officials and material
proved abortive.

On behalf of ourselves as aspirantsto the State Chairmanship
position and our teeming supporters , we hereby put the National Working
Committee and party stakeholders on notice to be aware of its attendant
implications.

To this effect, any result purported to be a product of ward
congresses in Nasarawa State is false, null and void and wont be accepted by us
and our teeming supporters.

It is a matter of great regret that the incumbent State
executive having led the hitherto vibrant party in the State to its worst
electoral outing in 2019 general election is by this action laying foundation
for the total failure of the party in the State.

The NWC is hereby invited to call the SWC to order and to
put in place a neutral panel that will carry out a rescheduled ward congress in
the State in order to avoid further damage to the party.

In the party office of Doma Local Government one of the
outgoing executive, Ibrahim BBC during an observation stated that the copy of
list of delegates given to them  to cross
check was a photocopy not original copy.

Also woman politician vying for an elective position who
pleaded anonymity maintained that apart from the delayed in the distribution
materials electuon did not hold.

“How do you expect credible, free and fair election
when Orogu hijjacked electoral process at the ward congress as she further said
women are waiting anxiously up to nine 9:00pm cloak.

The State of the party, Francis Orogu would not be reached
for comment as at press time.

Only time shall tell whether Nasarawa PDP will withstand the
heat it generated.
