Senator Ahmed Ogembe in a joint press conference with aggrieved aspirants at the venue of the primary accused the state chairman of the party for manipulating the list of the delegates from the five local government councils in the central senatorial district in the state.

He noted that out of seven aspirants six of them have petitioned the national chairman of the party and they all believe that they will take action.

Among the aspirants who stayed to witnessed the primary election includes Muhammed Onimisi, Etudaye Muhammed and Mahmud Ademu Attah.

Barrister Mrs. Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan decamped from the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and join the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to contest for the Kogi Central Senatorial primary.
