Kogi Election Rigged by Senate and Presidency – HURIWA

Earlier today it was announced that the senate had approved the sum of 10 billion Naira to Kogi State two days to its Governorship Election.

Reacting to this the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria has said that the governorship election in Kogi was a concluded matter, wondering why the Senate would approve such refund for projects executed on behalf of the Federal Government at a moment like this.

“We absolutely condemn the Ahmed Lawan-led Senate for orchestrating the worst case of abuse of power which is what the approval of the N10bn payment to an incumbent governor of same political affiliation facing a tough election, represents.

“We condemn once more the Presidency for even coming up with such a dubious idea to reward the Kogi State governor who is yet to pay civil servants and teachers for months.” the group said
