The Kogi State chapter of the Labour Party has lamented the denial of access to the Confluence Stadium, Lokoja, by Governor Yahaya Bello-led All Progressives Congress (APC) barely 24 hours before its presidential mega rally slated to hold on Tuesday, December 13th, 2022, in Lokoja.
Addressing journalists on Monday, the Kogi State Chairman of the Labour Party, Hon. Suleiman Abdul Ahmed, who noted that the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi was expected to campaign in Lokoja on Tuesday, described the action of the Kogi State Government as wicked and anti-democratic.
Ahmed emphasized that the party had written to the Kogi State Government on several occasions, only to be turned down at the last minute of their principal’s visit.
According to him, despite the frustration from the state government, the party remains resolute to ensure that the campaign holds as planned.
Ahmed stressed that Labour Party is out to salvage the people from the shackles of poverty and maladministration of the present APC government.
While admonishing supporters of the party not to be deterred by the recent development, Ahmed lamented the massive destruction of the Labour Party’s billboards by thugs suspected to be loyal to the ruling APC in Kogi State
