  ABENEMI’S CARETAKER COMMITTEE OF KOGI SDP: A FARCE? The situation regarding the caretaker committee established by the SDP in Kogi state is beginning to shift, as the presiding judge has decided to return the case to the Chief Judge (CJ) for reassignment to a substantive judge once the judicial vacation ends. This decision is significant because, upon reassignment, the new judge will set a fresh date for the hearing, which, according to reports, may be sometime in October or November. Until then, all parties must maintain the status quo, meaning, Hon. Moses Peter will continue as the chairman, and the caretaker committee's actions will be rendered ineffective, making all their decisions null and void. In terms of the upcoming elections, this implies that: - The Kogi State Independent Electoral Commission (KOSIEC) will be legally bound to recognize Moses Peter as the party chairman and work with him on all electoral matters. - Candidates not presented to KOSIEC through the office ...

Kebiru Muhammed was the potential cause of the failures of the People Democratic Party in Ogbonicha ward during the general elections of 2023.  He was equally responsible for his own political misfortunes during the same election. To add insult to injury; he couldn't hide or divorced himself from his selfish spirit as he ran away before the elections to Ogohi Motel in Anyigba and was not within public view on the day of his own election as the PDP's house of Assembly candidate representing the good People of Ofu state Constituency. It was also public knowledge that he sold his mandate to the APC and was involved or caught in an of "self commandoed" and racketeering political apathy on his election day thereby creat...

Isah Alhassan, on behalf of the wards' chairmen.  We are however not surprised because the diatribe as circulated in the media was a product of the same people who have resolved and sworn to rise against; Elder (Dr.) Ubolo Itodo Okpanachi(FCA) who has remained the only Man with the political pedigree and managerial acumen to lead Kogi East Senatorial district out of her current challenging state into a booming economic hub for the mutual benefit of Kogi state and Nigeria by extension. These same people under the influence of selective amnesia have quickly forgotten that, Elder (Dr.) Ubolo Itodo Okpanachi (FCA) was one of the most influential and powerful political leaders, t...
