A group of former Members of the Kogi State House of Assembly across the three Senatorial Districts on Wednesday threw their weight behind the candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Alhaji Muritala Yakubu Ajaka in the forthcoming governorship election in Kogi state come November 11th, 2023.

Speaking at the World Press Conference in Abuja the Representative of the Former House of Assembly Members Hon. Simon Atadoga proclaimed the adoption in support for Alhaji Ajaka the state’s SDP governorship candidate.

He noted that Bello’s APC-led regime in the state brought a whole lot of sorrow, killings, pains, hunger, and starvation across the land leaving the people crying for divine intervention, emancipation, and change and with the coming of the kindhearted and vibrant man like Alhaji Ajaka, if elected, the unpleasant memories will be completely erased.

According to him, the year was 2016 when the demise of the political giant, Prince Abubakar Audu, brought in calamity upon the state, by the enthronement of Governor Yahaya Bello, almost eight years ago.

“Bello’s regime is a regime of sorrow, killings, pains, hunger, and starvation across the land leaving the people crying for divine intervention, emancipation, and change.

“In the ensuing confusion and palpable fears thrown upon the state and the people, Muritala Yakubu Ajaka emerged like the Biblical David.

“With the courage of a lion and the resolve of a heart to salvage his people, he is undaunted and ever-focused on the future of our dear Kogi State. This is the resolve we all share by transforming the idea into a movement “MURI MOVEMENT.”

“This movement is an idea whose time has come. It is unstoppable, leading to Luggard House.

The former Kogi State House of Assembly members from the three senatorial districts of the state have resolved and unequivocally taken a stand with the candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Hon. Muritala Yakubu Ajaka.

“Our decision to identify with your aspiration and candidature is informed by several obvious facts.

“We unanimously believe that you have the capacity, tenacity, and courage to salvage the state from maladministration and misrule of the current regime and re-position the state to its envious pride of place among the comity of other states in the Federation.

Speaking Further, Hon. Ataoga said that the SDP candidate is informed to reposition the state. “We believe in your capacity to right the wrongs done to the state and the people these past eight years by providing pro-people administration and government and wiping away the flowing tears from the eyes of the majority of Kogites.

“We believe you have the capacity to redeem the state and the people from squalor and make us proud again.

“These and many more, we believe can be achieved by engaging in noble objectives giving your experience and track records of excellence.

“The committee of former House of Assembly members from across the three senatorial districts of the state have not only endorsed your candidature but have resolved to take the task, including the campaign to our various constituents across the state to ensure landslide victory. And we are confident our mission shall be accomplished with songs of victory.

“The people of Kogi state are yearning for your coming. That has been loudly demonstrated in their reception and acceptance of your candidacy. All we are waiting for is the day of election come 11th November 2023 to translate these warm acceptances through the ballot box. And the day shall come with Jubilations.

“We implore you to remain dogged like you have ever been. The storm shall be over. We are proud of your resilience and tenacity. You have by so doing exemplified a rare leadership quality and inspired many for which we are glad to be a part

“Looking back, we assure you we are with you and shall remain with you until your victory- our victory is announced. May the good Lord see us through in the remaining days ahead?” He assured.

PDP Chieftain Calls for Removal of Dr. Emma Agbo as DG of PDP Governors’ Forum

Benue State, Nigeria – Mr. Sam Obeya, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from Benue State, has called for the immediate removal of Dr. Emma Agbo as the Director-General of the PDP Governors’ Forum.

This call comes on the heels of the aborted Congress in Benue State, which was marred by litigation and controversy. Mr. Obeya alleges that Dr. Agbo played a significant role in the botched Congress and demands his removal to ensure the party’s unity and progress.

“The actions of Dr. Agbo have caused irreparable damage to our party in Benue State,” Mr. Obeya stated. “His removal is necessary to prevent further divisions and ensure that our party remains strong and united.”

Mr. Obeya expressed concern that Dr. Agbo may become a tool to serve the personal interests of Governor Bala Mohammed, just like his predecessor, Hon. Cid Madugbuna, who was seen as a stooge of former Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State.

“The PDP cannot afford to have a Director General who serves only the interests of one governor,” Obeya said. “We need leadership that prioritizes the unity and progress of the party above personal interests.”

Obeya called on party leaders to take action to ensure that the PDP Governors’ Forum remains independent and serves the interests of the party as a whole, rather than being used to promote personal agendas.
