Kogi Activist Urges Stakeholders to Engage INEC on Wards
Comrade Usman Okai Austin, a political activist from Kogi State, called on stakeholders to actively engage with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) regarding the creation of new electoral wards. In a statement dated Saturday, September 5, Okai expressed that his previous concerns about the ward creation process stemmed from incomplete information.
He was unaware that communities could formally request new wards. Okai praised INEC Chairman Professor Joash Ojo Amupitan for his balanced approach during the recent Assembly restoration process and his professional handling of the recent State election and issues involving the African Democratic Congress.
He urged Amupitan to consider himself a leader of Kogi State and emphasized the importance of fairness across the three senatorial zones to enhance public confidence in the electoral process. Okai encouraged broad participation from Kogi stakeholders to ensure that the ward delineation reflects the interests of the entire state.
