Former Deputy Governor of Kogi state and aspirant of the People Democratic Party governorship aspirant PDP Yomi Awoniyi has rejected the delegates list to be used for the election.
Awoniyi said any effort to use the unapproved delegate list would be rejected

Awoniyi stated this in a press conference held in Lokoja he said that there are attempts to use the party as a delegate list that is in complete variance from the approved one.
He noted that the press conference was to
draw the attention of the world to this abnormality, adding that it was right o say that where the party set up guidelines for a process and the same was not well adhered to, it is not reasonable for the same party to import strange names into the delegate list.

The aspirant said PDP was a party bound by laws and as a bonafide member of the party in the last 25 years, any attempt to make nonsense of the party’s primary would not be acceptable.

Awoniyi further stressed that the authentic delegate list that emerged from the party’s processes on 29th March and April 8th should be used.

He also said it was not acceptable to compel them to use the delegate list that is foreign to the process that took place.

Earlier, another aspirant, BoluFemi Rotimi stressed that the approved list must be used, adding that failure to do so would lead to a ton of an election and they said there would crisis if due process was not followed.

While Tajudeen Yusuf said the delegates list was meant to accommodate people who are not even members of the party in a bid to impose an aspirant on the party.

Tajudeen said if his name could be removed from the delegate list and only returned after a serious petition, then it was better for it not to be there, noting that the law would be used to tackle the problem.

When asked if the entire state list was tampered with, he responded that an injury to one is to all as those of Kogi East were returned, adding that removing just a name from the list as given by INEC, made the list unacceptable and should be rejected in totality.

“After our petition, thought it wise to return names in the East, those of the West were mutilated while the names of Central were tampered with.
