Kogi Youths Storm INEC Headquarters, Protest Alleged Marginalisation.
Protesters from Kogi East, operating under the umbrella of the Coalition of Kogi East Youths Association, marched to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) headquarters in Abuja to challenge the omission of their region from the proposed creation of new political wards in Kogi State.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The demonstrators voiced frustration that while Kogi West and Kogi Central were accommodated in the expansion plan, Kogi East—which they identify as the state’s most populous senatorial district and a primary driver of voter turnout—was excluded.
Addressing journalists and INEC officials, association leader Isaiah Davies Ijele directed his comments toward the INEC Chairman, Professor Joash Amupitan, calling for intervention against what the group views as the intentional sidelining of the district. Citing figures from the 2006 national census, Ijele noted that Kogi East accounted for 1.3 million of the state’s 3.4 million population, maintaining that these numbers and the region’s strong electoral participation warrant its inclusion.
Another association member, Apostle Gideon Isah, commended Professor Amupitan for overseeing a credible election in Osun State but cautioned him against yielding to external political pressure or influence regarding the Kogi ward process. Isah urged the Chairman to protect his reputation and ensure equity for the region.
The coalition outlined three core demands for the commission:
-
An immediate suspension of any ward creation activities that leave out Kogi East.
-
Full public disclosure of the criteria, data, and constitutional frameworks utilized for the proposed wards.
-
A transparent, inclusive review that fairly evaluates Kogi East using population statistics, voter distribution, and geographic factors.
Indidi Okafor, INEC’s Director of Security, accepted the petition on behalf of the Chairman, thanking the participants for maintaining a peaceful demonstration while receiving their concerns.
