The Kogi state chapter of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) seriously faces a serious crisis, since other factions kept Congress and elected their executive members to pilot party issues.
A faction on Wednesday celebrated the State Congress and elected Ahmed Atta as president of Abdulrahaman Idris (Sofather) as secretary among other executives of the party.
The head of the state of the Male Peter Oricha party, challenged Congress held by some people who say that it is void and null, an effort in uselessness.
The state president of the party, Oricha, while talking with journalists, said that it is a criminal violation of due process to have followed with a ghost congress, despite the subsistent case before a competent jurisdiction court on the matter.
According to him, his mandate will expire in April 2026 and wondered why the rush to carry out an illegal congress.
He praised the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies for not attending said Congress, which allegedly produced Ahmed Atta as president, Abdulrahaman Idris (Sofather) as secretary among other executives of the party.
Speaking more, the president said; “We urge the general public, the Security Agencies and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to ignore this supposed congress organized by some people disguised as party members.
His words: “I just received my notification that some ghost people who claim to be members of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, in the state of Kogi, organized a state congress today on Wednesday 12, 2925
“This is not only ridiculous but criminal in a modern democratic environment. These people not only have no face, but are also being sponsored by their Paymasters, not only for their selfish interests, but also to cause chaos in our group, which we build from scratch.
“The general public should not take these people seriously with their cartoon of a state congress, which cannot support the test of time because nobody knows them in the state of SDP Kogi.
“I have written to the Independent National Electoral Commission and copied the Department of State Services, DSS and the Police Commissioner, urging them to ignore this farce called Congress.
“I am the authentic president of SDP in the state of Kogi, and we will not allow the intruders who work hard to destroy our party, which we have built over the years. This congress, held today on Wednesday, is null and null and cannot endure. ”
Oricha recalled that the Congress of the current Executive under his leadership, held on April 9, 2022, remains valid under the constitution of the SDP.
Meanwhile, when our correspondent approached the Congress Originals to talk about the matter, it was abortive, since they refused to talk to the press.
“We can't talk about the matter now. Our National Secretariat will talk about the matter at the appropriate time. “
