FOCUS ON GOVERNING THE STATE, STOP MEDDLING IN OUR PARTY AFFAIRS – KOGI SDP SLAMS GOV. ODODO
The Social Democratic Party (SDP), Kogi State, has asked Governor Usman Ododo to stop meddling in the party’s internal affairs.
A statement by the Director of New Media and Spokesperson for the Muri/Sam Campaign Council-SDP, Isaiah Davies Ijele, on Monday described the move as unacceptable and a blatant disregard for democratic principles.
Ijele alleged that the government is using the suspended chairman and other unscrupulous members of the SDP to obstruct the submission of candidate names for the local government election, adding that it is a clear encroachment on party politics.
The SDP spokesperson cautioned the state government and judiciary against interfering in party affairs, emphasizing the importance of upholding the right of every party to manage its internal affairs independently.
He advised Governor Ododo to focus on governing the state and harnessing its natural resources rather than causing fracas in the SDP.
“Governor ODODO should be more concerned on how to govern the state and harness its natural resources while the time lasts than causing fracas in the SDP, Kogi state chapter,” Ijele said.

The SDP’s statement comes amid allegations of government interference in the party’s internal affairs, which has sparked concerns about the integrity of the electoral process in Kogi State.
