Settle Your Case With Security Agencies, Kogi Govt Urges Ajaka

Kogi State government has broken its silence over allegations of sponsoring terrorism and orchestrating extra-judicial killings in the eastern flank of the state.

The government, in a statement signed by the commissioner for information, Kingsley Fanwo, advised the gubernatorial candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Alhaji Muritala Yakubu Ajaka, to settle his issues with security agents and stop dragging the name of the governor and government of Kogi state into his predicaments.

Fanwo said, “We wouldn’t have bothered to respond to the watery, evasive and sympathy seeking candidate of the Social Democratic Party, who is dipping himself in the messy mud and having an ignominious macabre dance on the sensibilities of Kogites and Nigerians as a whole.

“It is important to tell Nigerians and the world that Muritala Yakubu Ajaka, the said governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party, is whipping up sentiments, spreading falsehood so as to put on himself, a garment of importance and create unnecessary air around himself as a contender that he is not”.

Fanwo added that “Kogites and Nigerians know Ajaka and they know that his intention is to create ethnic division and blow his own ego. We know the contenders and the pretenders and he is not a political threat as far as Kogi State is concerned”.

“The ignorance of Muritala Yakubu Ajaka and his team is such a flourishing folly, thinking that the Governor is an interested party and would therefore allow his state to become a state of anomie and lawlessness”.

He said the governor is for all the people of Kogi State and he owes them a duty of care and security who swore to protect the people.
