Save Kogi Pdp From Imminent Collapse, Chieftain Begs NWC

The first runner-up in the last state Congress of the People’s Democratic Party in Kogi State, Muhammad Sani Gambo, has pleaded with the National Working Committee of the People’s Democratic Party to swear him in as the state chairman of the party following the disqualification of Enemona Anyebe by the Court.

Speaking at a Press Conference held at the NUJ Press Centre Lokoja, Gambo described Hon Enemona Anyebe as an impostor and therefore called on security agencies across the state to arrest him anywhere he parades himself as such.

“The crude manner jointly masterminded by Hon. Enemona Anyebe and his sponsors to take over, through military style, the leadership of the PDP in Kogi State leaves much to be desired,” Gambo noted.

He added, “This is even more worrisome that Kogites, Nigerians, and the world look up to the PDP at this moment to salvage Nigeria from the precipice of outright destruction. Unfortunately, it is surprising that these haters of democracy are trying to undermine the will of the PDP members in Kogi State.”

The politician noted further, “The need for the principle of fairness, justice, and equity to reflect in our conduct and activities, particularly as an opposition political party, must not be compromised.”

According to him, “the last PDP State Congress in Kogi State was free and fair and the outcome well accepted by all the contestants except for one position, the office of the state chairman, where a court order barred Hon. Enemona Anyebe, the person parading himself as chairman now from contesting and presenting himself for screening.

“The Party was asked not to screen him, all because of the court order and ruling that has yet to be vacated before the Congress and as we speak.

“However, we are worried that Hon. Enemona Anyebe, the purported state chairman who was suspended first from by the party by his Local Government Executives, a suspension that was affirmed by the State Executives in 2019 and again by his Ward’s Executives in 2024, all on account of anti-party, was again affirmed by a court ruling that supported the various suspensions, now presides over the affairs of our party in the state.

“We are all aware also that it was from the Ward Executives that the usurper chairman was dragged to the court.

“We, therefore, wonder how Hon. Enemona Anyebe could have become the State Party Chairman when the nomination form that was sold to him to contest as chairman was withdrawn by the Court Order via Suit No.

HC/OKP/54M/2024 of the Kogi State High Court “ he further alleged.

Therefore, he called on the National Working Committee of the party, particularly the Acting National Chairman, the Secretary, Organising Secretary and Legal Adviser to do the needful  to prevent the party from running into trouble waters.

In face of these allegations and accusations, Arewa PUNCH’s efforts to get the state party Chairman, Enemona Anyebe to react to the allegations proved abortive.

He promised to get back to our correspondent with his reaction later when contacted but he had not done so as at the time of filling this report.
