The Kaduna state chapter of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), have promised to challenge the justifiability of the Local Government elections conducted across the state on the 19th October 2024 in the court.
PDP criticizes the swearing-in of the 23 local government council Chairmen in the state describing it as shame and an attack on the nation’s democracy.
Recall that Kaduna State Independent Electoral Commission (KADSIECOM), declared all the 23 chairmanship and 255 councilorship seats in the state to All Progressives Congress candidates and was announced by Hajara Mohammed, the KADSIECOM Chairman.
Maria Dogo, the PDP Publicity Secretary, had on Friday in a signed statement
made the party’s position known to newsmen.
Party statement reads: “PDP is not surprised by this secretive move, as it is clear that these individuals were never elected by the people but imposed by the dictator in Sir Kashim Ibrahim House.
“We reiterate that no local government council election was held in Kaduna State on Oct. 19.
‘Any exercise, including the issuance of certificates of return, swearing-in, or assumption of office by these impostors, is, therefore, futile and will not stand the test of time and the law.
“The PDP assures the good people of Kaduna State that we are already in court challenging the validity of the election law passed and hurriedly smuggled into the electoral process.”
