After the short meeting at the old
Lokoja Stadium today, recently
sacked councillors numbering about
231 person(s) marched towards the
Kogi State Government House and
sought audience with Governor Idris
Wada.
The embattled Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) Councillors across Kogi
State met under the aegis of National
Councillors Forum, Kogi State to
discuss their political future and to
hear from Governor Idris Wada whom
they believe has not done enough as
the leader of the party and
government in Kogi state.
The councillors, who could not meet
with the governor were stood their
ground and refused to leave the gate
of government house for several
hours. Kogireports gathered that top
aides to Governor Wada met with the
aggrieved Councillors and assured
them that Wada will meet with them
in a few days time to assuage their
feelings.
Some of the Councillors openly
threatened to dump ruling Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) for
opposition All Progressive Congress
(APC). One of them was quoted to
have said, “APC may laugh at last in
Kogi State”.
The Councillors, we learnt, are being
seriously persuaded by the leadership
of the Forum to make up their mind
to leave the party having said the
party and its leadership could not
protect them and their welfare.
The group asserted they are not
contending with the power of court to
adjudicate on matters before it but
they are challenging the way and
manner the state government moved
to enforce the judgment of the High
court having no regards and respect
for their right to appeal, they felt it is
strange to our laws, equity and good
conscience that a governor will strip
off the power of an elected officer
without allowing the extinction of the
various appeals.

These political leaders don't don't do the right things until their personal interest is threatened. So so sad.
