Kogi East Youths Protest At INEC, Demand Fair Share Of New Wards

Youths from Kogi East Senatorial District, under the Coalition of Kogi East Youths Associations, have protested at the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Abuja over the ongoing process for the creation of additional electoral wards in Kogi State. The protesters alleged that Kogi East was being excluded from the exercise and demanded fairness, transparency, and equitable representation in the proposed ward creation. Leader of the delegation, Isaiah Davies Ijele, said in a statement issued in Lokoja that the protest was aimed at expressing the coalition’s concern over what it described as the marginalisation of the senatorial district. He stated that Kogi East, described as the most populous senatorial district in the state with substantial electoral strength, deserved fair consideration in any review or creation of electoral wards.
