The statement reads, “The Kogi State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress has received disturbing reports of gross violations of the party’s constitution by ward and local government executives, who should ordinarily be the guardians of the constitutional sanctity of our party. Allegations of anti-party activities and financial inducement to weaken the party have been confirmed, leading to extensive investigations of some party executives.”
The party leadership strongly discourages the dismissed officers from resuming their former executive positions.
The statement emphasises that “caretaker committees will be established immediately to manage the party’s affairs pending a comprehensive report from the investigative committee.” Officials from wards to the local government level in the Igalamela/Odolu Local Government Area are directed to submit party materials in their possession to the state secretariat in Lokoja and cease operating as executives as of today, 19 May 2023.
