Kogi Election: PDP Calls For Transfer of CP, REC

From Joseph Amedu, Lokoja

The Kogi state Chapter of the  People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has called for the immediate transfer of State Commissioner of Police, CP Hakim Busari and the Resident Electoral Commissioner,  Professor James Apam before the November 16   governorship polls.

The call was contained in the resolution of the Lokoja local government council of  PDP reached at its enlarged stakeholders meeting  recently.

The party insisted that  the Police Commissioner and the Resident Electoral Commissioner must go before November election.

The party in a communiqué signed by Alhaji Abubakar Idris, the Lokoja Local Government Party Chairman, also warned against the deployment of Dr. Amina Zakari to the state to oversee the polls, insisting that on no condition must she be allowed to be part of the Kogi State Governorship election.

According to the party, it has to raise the alarm for the deployment of the officers as their actions are no longer in the interest of credible conduct of the forthcoming governorship election.

The PDP in the communiqué also passed vote of confidence on the Nigeria Army Command and the Department of State Security Service in Lokoja, saying over the years they have proven to be above board in their conduct professionally.

The party restated its commitment to ensuring victory for  its candidate, Engr. Musa Wada  and asked members not to rest on their oars, but work round the clock to  ensure  victory for the party.
