He said that the party’s position was predicated on reported threats by a governorship candidate and his party to unleash violence and disrupt PDP campaigns in Kogi Central Senatorial Zone.

He said that the people of Kogi were on the move with the PDP in their readiness to confront and dismantle planned violence.

He also called the attention of security agencies to reports of a training ground for thugs in Kogi Central District.

He urged the Inspector General of Police and the military hierarchy to immediately call Governor Yahaya Bello and the APC to order.

Ologbodiyan also called for  urgent steps to ensure adequate security to safeguard lives and property in the run-up to the November 16 election in the state.
