The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kogi State has guaranteed a hitch-free state congress, scheduled for today, Saturday.
Chairman of the Kogi State PDP Congress Committee, Usman Okai Austin, confirmed that all necessary arrangements have been made to ensure a free and fair congress.
Okai expressed confidence that the congress will result in the formation of a new state working committee, which will revitalize party activities and solidify its role as a strong opposition force ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Addressing rumors of potential legal challenges, Okai clarified that there are no court summons or orders against the congress, dismissing such claims as mere political gossip.
The committee highlighted that the three-man ad-hoc delegates’ process has been successfully completed, with an appeals committee already established and inaugurated. The process has received approval from the PDP’s National Working Committee in Abuja.
The party urged all delegates and members to adhere strictly to the established rules and regulations, assuring them that comprehensive security measures are in place to protect delegates traveling from all 21 local government areas of the state.
The party dismissed any speculation about the possibility of another congress, calling such ideas wishful thinking. “The Kogi PDP is poised to emerge from this congress with renewed energy and a clear mandate to serve the people,” the statement added.
