It was an error not to have declared me as Chairman – Kogi PDP, Hon. Gambo Says.
Hon. Mohammed Sanni Gambo says he ought to have been declared winner of the August 31st 2024 Congress by the Kogi State High Court and not the call for cancellation of the election, pointing out that the election was adjudged as having met all the requirements for following due process, fairness and justice.
Hon. Gambo said if the report of the Independent National Electoral Commission
Kogi State and the
Election and Political Party Monitoring Department is anything to go by, said the state congress of people’s Democratic Party (PDP)
held On 31st August, 2024, was free and fair, and having scored the highest votes, said he ought to have been declared, said it was not an error for him not to have been declared as winner.
In any case, Hon. Mohammed said if because he was not a joinder on the suit, disclosed that he has appealed the High Court ruling, explained that he has through the court successfully transmitted the record to the appeal Court.
Hon. Gambo said the report of the State Congress committee, showed that the Congress procedures and
processes were followed, lamented why an election in which Enemona Anyebe was not a contestant, he will be denied justice, called on the National Working Committee of the PDP, the PDP Governor’s Forum to swear him in immediately, pointing out that he is the duly elected Chairman of Kogi PDP.
Hon. Gambo said the Kogi State PDP Congress was contested by CAPT. AGADA JOE, GAMBO SANI, OGU INA DAVID, ANYEBE ENEMONA, AMEGO ELEOJO, but disclosed that as at August 31st, 2024, the court had barred through an order, Enemona Anyebe from contesting. He said the order was not vacated nor set aside. He also added that a High Court on 18 February, 2025 affirmed the case of contempt against Enemona, ordered his arrest, urged for his immediate swearing in as Chairman of the State PDP.
Hon. Gambo said if among the eligible contestants, duly certified to contest in the August 31st Congress, having scored the highest votes in an election adjudged by the INEC and PDP monitoring and supervising team that observed the Congress, with the report in public domain, wondered why the delay in his being sworn in.
He demanded justice from the PDP as quick as possible, pointing out that Enemona didn’t contest the election because he was barred, called on others trying to ursurp justice, but scored less in the Congress, while he pulled the highest votes would still be made to remain the awaiting Chairman.
Hon. Gambo said Justice delayed is justice denied, called for the NWC of PDP to take a look at the report, the results of the Congress and swear him in immediately.
” As at the day we conducted the congress. Enemona was not a participant. He has not challenged any of the order or judgment, an indication that conscience is an open wound.
” Amongst the contestant. I scored the highest votes. I wonder why the delay “, I’m the authentic Kogi State PDP Chairman, I should be inaugurated quickly”.
