The aspirants also urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to reject any report submitted from the disputed exercise.
Aspirants and members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kogi Central Senatorial District have accused party leaders loyal to former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, of orchestrating the collapse of the party’s primary elections by allegedly hijacking electoral materials and attempting to impose candidates.
The aggrieved aspirants made the allegation during a press statement, insisting that no valid primary election was conducted anywhere in Kogi Central on Thursday, May 21, 2026, despite thousands of party members waiting for the exercise across Okene, and Ogori/Magongo.
The statement was signed by ADC senatorial aspirant, Prince Murtala Sani Omolori, and other aspirants, including Aisha Ibrahim Adoke, Ado Okikiri Adinnji, Abdulkareem Yusuf, amongst others.
The aspirants accused former senator and ADC senatorial aspirant, Ahmed Salau Ogembe, of masterminding the alleged seizure of election materials.
