According to Emmanuel” We want to commend our Governorship Candidate, Sen. Dino Melaye who accepted the outcome of the election and said he was not going to challenge the process in the Tribunal”.
” We are therefore taking aback by Muritala Ajaka who’s party has no structure in the State, but is threatening to cause crisis by wanting to hoodwink the INEC “.
” We are therefore calling on INEC not succumb to any intimation by the SDP. The election was the freest and most credible we have ever witnessed in the State”.
“Any attempt by INEC to toe the line of the SDP will lead to jeopady. We are therefore using this medium to call on security agencies to call Muritala Ajaka to order and not create crisis in Kogi State”.
The PDP Youth Leader urged the security agencies, the Presidency to call the SDP Governorship Candidate to order, said it is becoming obvious that he wants to cause break down of law and order in the State.
” We are using this medium to asked President Ahmed Bola Tinubu to call Alhaji Muritala Ajaka to order. He cannot be above the law. The Kogi election was without mincing words, the best we have ever had”.
” The people of Kogi State have spoken and no amount of threat to democracy wanting to disrupt the activities of INEC will change the results. The people of the State will resist any attempt to undermine their wishes and aspirations as displayed by voting for the APC “.
Speaking, further ” People should be allowed to go about their lawful business. We are at peace in Kogi State except for the present crisis Muritala Ajaka is trying to create “.
” For the first time we had a peaceful and orderly election devoid of violence. INEC and security agencies did there best”, wondered why Muritala Ajaka and his sponsors are trying to undermine INEC.
The PDP Youth Leader described the threat by the SDP as a threat to democracy, said “no one is above the law”.
” We are worried that for a party that is structureless, with no visible presence in the State to want to burn down INEC and undermine the credibility of INEC, must not be allowed to stand”.
” The Kogi election has been won and lost, we call on the SDP to take cue from the PDP and not heighten tension in the State. INEC has conducted the best election ever in the State”.
