Kogi: SDP condemns Gov Ododo’s ban on rallies
The Social Democratic Party has condemned the ban on political rallies and convoys by Governor Ahmed Ododo.
The party’s chair in Kogi, Ahmed Attah, condemned in a statement signed by the SDP press secretary, Isaiah Ijele, on Tuesday.
The party described the ban as an attack on democratic principles and a blatant attempt to silence opposition voices.
Mr Attah said, “The party views this action as an attempt to suppress the freedom of association and movement enshrined in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
Mr Attah insisted that Kogi is not at war and urged the government to focus on development instead of engaging in political manoeuvres.
He warned that Kogi must not return to the dark days of repression, particularly against the opposition.
