The Kogi State Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), led by Senator Danjuma Laah, has indefinitely postponed the party’s state ward congress initially set for Saturday.
The suspension follows an incident in which hoodlums invaded the party’s state secretariat, stealing sensitive electoral materials.
The decision to halt the congress was made in collaboration with the congress committee chairman, Boyelayefa Debeleme, according to a statement by the committee’s Publicity Secretary, Dayo Akande.
The statement explained that the attackers arrived in an 18-seater bus and other unmarked vehicles.

“All these happened in the presence of the INEC observer. These unauthorized persons went away with all sensitive materials meant for the congress across the 239 wards of the 21 LGA wards of the state,” Akande noted.
The committee strongly condemned the theft and called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and other relevant bodies to disregard any results that may come from the disrupted congress.
