The highly anticipated legal battle for the governorship seat of Kogi State kicked off yesterday at the Supreme Court, with Murtala Yakubu Ajaka expressing confidence in a favourable outcome. Murtala Yakubu Ajaka, the Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate in the controversial 2023 Kogi State gubernatorial election, has been engaged in a protracted legal tussle with Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Speaking to journalists shortly after the court hearing, Muri Ajaka said, “We have presented a strong case before the Supreme Court, and we are confident that justice will prevail. The people of Kogi State deserve a leader chosen through a free, fair, and transparent election, and we believe that our case will vindicate the people’s will. We have faith in the integrity of the Supreme Court, and we believe that they will serve justice. I also urge all my supporters to remain patient and peaceful as we await the court’s decision. Remember that our struggle is not just about this election but ensuring our democracy is built on a solid foundation of fairness and transparency.”

The legal dispute arose following Ododo’s declaration as the election winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Ajaka, the SDP candidate, contested the results and accused Ododo and his party of perpetrating electoral fraud, citing irregularities in using the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) and discrepancies in the final vote tally.

In the previous court proceedings, Ajaka’s legal team argued that INEC’s decision to declare Ododo the winner was marred by several inconsistencies and violations of electoral laws. They pointed out that the BVAS system, intended to enhance transparency and credibility in the election process, had been compromised. The Supreme Court, in its capacity as the highest court in the land, is expected to deliver a definitive judgment on the case.

Murtala Yakubu Ajaka, the Social Democratic Party (SDP) gubernatorial candidate in Kogi State, is contesting the election results from five local government areas: Okene, Adavi, Okehi, Ajaokuta, and Lokoja. Ajaka’s challenge is based on allegations of over-voting, electoral fraud, and malpractices during the elections. As the legal proceedings continue, the court must demonstrate its dedication to transparency, fairness, and the rule of law. By delivering justice in this case, Nigeria’s democratic institutions will be fortified, ensuring that future elections are free, fair, and credible. The outcome of this legal battle has significant implications for the people of Kogi State and the entire nation, as it sets a precedent for the sanctity and integrity of the electoral process.
