There is tension in Kogi State following the denial of the Labour Party access to the Confluence Stadium, Lokoja, by Governor Yahaya Bello-led All Progressives Congress (APC) barely 24 hours before its presidential mega rally.

 The Kogi State chapter of the Labour Party has scheduled to hold its rally on Tuesday in Lokoja, where the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, was expected to campaign.

However, the Kogi State Chairman of the Labour Party, Hon. Suleiman Abdul Ahmed, while addressing Journalists on Monday described the action of the Kogi State Government as wicked and anti-democratic.

The Chairman explained that the party had written to the Kogi State Government on several occasions, only to be turned down at the last minute of their principal’s visit, Daily Post reports.

He said that the party remained resolute to ensure that the campaign hold as planned, despite the frustration from the state government.

He stressed that the Labour Party was out to salvage the people from the shackles of poverty and maladministration of the present APC government.

Ahmed also lamented the massive destruction of the Labour Party’s billboards by thugs suspected to be loyal to the ruling APC in Kogi State.

He said: “If they had denied them (the APC) the opportunity of using that stadium to campaign, I am not sure they would be in office today. The truth is that some people put up characters that are strange. You go to so many states; you will find campaign billboards and posters. In Kogi State, there is a law, just for you to erect a campaign billboard, you must pay heavily.

“The reason the governments put up these policies is to ensure that credible candidates do not win elections, and that will not work. The people are tired of the bad leadership of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Kogi State and Nigeria in general. So denying people the ability to use facilities is not the way out. The people will surely vote for candidates that are credible.

“Nobody has a monopoly on violence. We are “Obidients.” No matter what happens, the campaign will be held tomorrow, even though it is inside the forest. Money has never been the problem. They made several efforts to discourage us. They even tripled the stadium money just to frustrate us from using the facilities. They are doing this deliberately at the eleventh hour so that the campaign will not hold. The people in charge of the stadium said the order came from the top for us not to have access to use the stadium.”
