 The Kogi state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has denied the allegation by the All Progressives Congress that it was responsible for the recent protest at the APC national secretariat in Abuja, by some angry youth.

Vanguard reports that the protest was over the candidature of Prince Abubakar Audu as the APC candidate for the November 21, governorship election.

Sam Uhuotu, the state PDP chairman through the party publicity secretary, Bode Ogunmola described the allegation made to that effect by one Abdulkadiri Ahmed as mischievous and a calculated attempt to bring the integrity of PDP to disrepute.

Uhuotu said that the ruling party is always in the habit of giving flimsy excuses and blaming their predicaments on others.

The PDP chairman said: “The APC has formed the attitude of always looking for scapegoat even when it is responsible for its own problems. We advised that the APC come to terms with the reality that it has made an unpopular choice which is presently threatening to tear the party into shreds.

“The APC allegation is the ranting of a drowning party. We advised them (APC) to channel their energy to winning the confidence of the electorate, who, have since lost every modicum of respect for them for wanting to foist a man they have rejected four times in the past.”

The state PDP boss said it was not the party that asked the APC to field a candidate that is standing trial with the anti-graft agency over allegation bordering on fraud.

He stressed that the choice of candidate that the APC has made glaringly indicates that the party stands to fail woefully at the forthcoming governorship elections in the state.

Meanwhile, the PDP on Wednesday, September 9, postponed the Kogi state governorship primary election due to some logistic issues pertaining to the exercise.

The PDP national youths frontier had also called on the national working committee of the party to immediately rescind its decision to postpone the party’s primary election in Kogi state.
