November Poll: Don’t burn down our state over ‘defeat bitterness’, Kogi youths, women tell SDP candidate, Ajaka

. Urge him to accept reality or follow electoral guidelines

 

Scores of Kogi youths and women from across the three senatorial districts of the state have called on the candidate of the Social Democratic Party in the November 11 gubernatorial election, Muritala Yakubu Ajaka, and his supporters not to burn down the state over the candidate’s inability to come to terms with what they called his overwhelming defeat.

The youths said the State belonged to all indigenes and residents alike irrespective of political, tribal or religious leanings, adding that nothing must be allowed to affect the peace they had enjoyed for over seven years under the administration of Governor Yahaya Bello.

The youths and women who marched through the major streets of Lokoja on Friday during a peaceful protest, said the past governorship election was the freest and fairest in the history of the state but urged aggrieved parties who might still want to contest its outcome to go about it in line with laid down guidelines instead of harassing the electoral umpire and the opposition.

One of the protesters who simply identified himself as Dele, called on security agencies to rise up to the occasion and preserve the peace that had been enjoyed in the state, while also imploring the Governor-elect, Usman Ododo, to ensure that the incumbent’s legacies in the area of security were sustained.

“Muritala Ajaka and these few SDP supporters should not overheat the polity unnecessarily. We take serious exception to these actions of wanting to burn down the state. Elections have come and gone and someone has won. If you’re aggrieved, follow the right channel,” the protester said.

Another protester, who spoke on behalf of the young women, Ireti olukomogbon, noted that they were surprised that the SDP candidate was trying to set the people against INEC over his incessant and unfounded allegations against the electoral umpire.

She said the election of November 11 in Kogi was free and fair while appealing to the SDP candidate and supporters to embrace peace and work together with the candidate that has emerged.

“Kogi people have shown clearly that they stand with the Kogi Agenda with their votes. If you’re aggrieved, go to court the proper way. As for the youths and women demography, we will support Alhaji Usman Ododo to succeed,” she said.
