Aisha Yusufu, Co-convener of the
BringBackOurGirls, BBOG, advocacy group, has mocked the two top parties in
Nigeria.
According to her, the ruling All
Progressives Congress (APC), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and their
members, were birds of same feather.
Aisha said this ahead of the
expected Kogi West Senatorial battle between Dino Melaye (PDP) and Smart
Adeyemi (APC).
On Friday, the Court of Appeal
affirmed the earlier ruling by the Kogi Elections Petition Tribunal which
sacked Melaye and ordered fresh election within 90 days of its judgment.
“You still think there is
difference between APC & PDP? Who is the fool? Definitely not the
politicians but the people!” (Sic).
Meanwhile, the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) said it was considering the possibility of
using the Nov. 16 governorship election to conduct a fresh election for the
Kogi West Senatorial district.
INEC National Commissioner in charge
of Kogi, Nasarawa and Kwara States, Alhaji Mohammed Haruna, dropped the hint in
Lokoja on Friday.
Fielding questions from newsmen
on the Court Appeal judgment nullifying the election of Melaye, Haruna said
that since the governorship election was still 34 days away, there was
possibility for the election to hold same day.
