“On the last count, four impeccable sources have confirmed that this plot has been bankrolled by the Kogi State Government, led by its accidental governor, Yahaya Adoza Bello and will start with a calculated attempt to harass the presidential candidate of our great party, His Excellency, Atiku Abubakar GCON who is scheduled to visit Kogi State in a few hours from now”, Head, Media and Publicity, Kogi State PDP Presidential Campaign Council, Usman Austin Okai has said.
The Council reminded Nigerians that reports were initially made about a well funded exercise carried out by agents of the Kogi State government which targeted a mass destruction of campaign banners and other publicity materials of the PDP in Kogi State less than a week ago.

“Not only is the Council concerned about the clear attempt by the APC to erode a strong legacy of democracy and freedom bequeathed to it by the PDP, it appears desperate to score a new low by going against the towering personality of His Excellency, Atiku Abubakar GCON”, he said.
According to him, whereas the PDP habors no fear of the unknown as regards tomorrow’s rally for which the Kogi Confluence Stadium, Lokoja has been approved for use, it is sternly advising relevant security agencies to call the outgoing governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello and His band of urchins to order immediately.

The Council also urged all leaders, elders, stakeholders, affiliate groups and supporters of the PDP to turn out en-masse for tomorrow’s rally and entertain not, fear of any kind.
