2019: Kogi West PDP Zones Senate to Yagba

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Kogi West chapter, has adopted the recommendation by the “Strategic Committee on Election into Party Offices and General Election”, to zone the senate ticket of the party to Yagba Federal Constituency.
In a communiqué issued after Kogi West PDP stakeholders’ meeting, the party resolved that the senate ticket of the PDP for the 2019 election be zoned to Yagba Federal Constituency.

The decision, as contained in the communiqué, was taken after members from all but one of the seven local government areas in the senatorial zone voted in support of the committee’s recommendation.
Only members from Kabba/Bunu Local Government Area voted against.
Stakeholders from Lokoja, Kotonkarfe, Ijumu, Mopamuro, Yagba West and Yagba East aligned with the zoning.
The meeting also saw the defection of 1000 members from the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
