The war of attrition within Kogi chapter of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, is far from settlement as its State Working Committee, SWC, has reaffirmed the expulsion of their embattled chairman, Kingsley Ogga, describing his purported return as a ‘figment of his own imagination.’
The party made this known on Monday during the State Working Committee and critical stakeholders meeting held at Lilly Ground Hotel, Lokoja.
Speaking after the meeting to newsmen, the State Public Relation Officer of the party, Mr. Johnson Tayo also said the party at the state level will not align with the Coalition Movement; insisting it does not reflect the true yearnings of the party members.
They declared as laughable the alleged suspension of the House of Representatives member of Yagba Federal constituency, Leke Abejide from the party by the Ogga’s faction, saying there was no place such decision was taken by the party.
“We do not recognize the leadership of Kingsley Ogga. Ogga was expelled from the party in 2022, right from his Ward, to LGA, which was ratified by the State executive. There was nowhere in time that the suspension and expulsion were upturned. By implication, a party member whose membership is withdrawn is logically out of circle.
”We reiterate that Ogga’s suspension renders all his actions as null and void, and he can therefore not speak on behalf of our great party.
”We call on security operatives to help us apprehend him for impersonation. His continued false claim as party chairman is causing untold damage to the party in the state. Ogga has been forging party members’ signatures to perpetrate his criminal act.
”However, at today’s meeting, we reviewed our stand and reaffirmed that the member representing Yagba Federal Constituency, Hon. Leke Abejide remains the leader of the party, not only at the state level but also at the national level.
”Leke Abejide is the only elected party member in the entire country, and so, his position as leader remains sacrosanct.”
