* Says the story of Defection of members lies from the Devil.
Against the purported defection of Kogi state Executive members of the SDP into APC , the Moses Peter led Exco has urged citizenry to disregard the story making the round as his members are still intact with the party.
In a press release signed by Comrade Adazaki Jibril, Kogi state Deputy Publicity Secretary made available to Journalists after the executive council meeting held over the weekend in Lokoja.
The Deputy Publicity Secretary noted that the rumours that all members of the Executive Council of the party have collapsed into APC was a story concocted from the pit of hell by the enemies of democracy and against the people of Kogi state who are desirous of a change.
The release stated that the SDP and her Candidate Alhaji Muri Muritala Ajaka have remained the epitome of the change the people are clamouring for , hence, the enemies working round the clock to kill the aspiration of the people.
He said the story in its entirety was false, malicious and anti people and should be treated as one of their failed antics to suppress the rising profile of the SDP and Muritala Ajaka.
According to the statement ” As part of their efforts to bring our party to disrepute: they attacked our convoy along Banda/Lokoja express-way and nearly assassinated our governorship candidate; they burnt our Secretariat Complexes in Dekina and Lokoja . They have been harassing some prominent members of our party with (hired) security operatives in the state, amongst others. These activities were meant to draw us back and distract the committed members of S.D.P. from their focus.
“We at the Executive Council therefore, enjoined our teaming members to remain committed, focused and we shall collectively intensify our campaign strategies for victory on November 11,2023 ” The statement outlined.
Those in attendance at the press conference include: The state Chairman, Moses Peter JP., State Deputy Chairman, Mohammed Sani, state organising secretary Solomon Bebeto, three Zonal Chairmen and 21 Local Government chairmen of the party.
