Opposition parties in Kogi State have called for the arrest and prosecution of the Chairman of Kogi State Independent Electoral Commission, KOSIEC, for allegedly allowing sensitive materials to be diverted to the Government House.
They made their position known when they protested at the KOSIEC office in Lokoja ahead of Saturday’s local government election.
Addressing journalists on behalf of other political parties, the Kogi State organizing secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Ibrahim alleged that sensitive materials for some local governments were diverted to Kogi State Government House.
“Sensitive materials were allegedly diverted to Kogi Government House.
“Many Kogites could not exercise their franchise. This is disgraceful. The ruling All Progressive Congress in Kogi State has criminalized the system and has continued to promote immunity.
“Opposition parties in Kogi State will not accept this,” he stated.
While calling on the National Assembly to pass a resolution for the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to conduct elections for local government across the country, he appealed to the Federal Government to sanction anyone involved in the alleged electoral fraud.
Ibrahim emphasized that opposition parties in Kogi State regret participating in the election.
He lamented the present economic hardship under the APC government, noting that if election is conducted transparently, the ruling party will lose at both the federal and state levels.
Ibrahim also accused the security agencies in the state of unprofessional conduct.
