* Appeals to others to toe the line.
The Governorship candidate of the Action Democratic ADP, Barrister Julius Elukpo PHD has disclosed that the reason for his stepping down for SDP candidate, Muritala Ajaka is based on the popular belief that Leaders are chosen by God.
The Elderstatesman cum politician made the disclosure today in a letter he wrote to the good people of Kogi East
According to him “The decision of some of us to step down for one person in the governorship election has become necessary because what happened in the past to Kogi East should not repeat itself again.
“Having money is one thing, but to govern is another. However , these were mixed up in Igala/Bassa land. Hence governance, development, etc, are eluding us.
“My interest is that governorship must go to Kogi East this time around and all bonafide members of Kogi East should key behind one candidate, if we want to achieve that. Taking chances and Waiting for another 8 years again will be suicidal.
“Hence some of us queued behind Alhaji Muritala Yakubu Ajaka. Consequently, I hereby appeal to the other aspirants to queue behind Alhaji Ajaka. I am therefore appealing to Igala/Bassa to see reasons to join us by appealing to the other aspirants to have a common voice in the 11 November 2023 Election to enable us move forward. It is a known fact that Leaders are chosen by GOD.
