Kogi Gov’ship: I’m target of assassination - SDP candidate Ajaka cries

The governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Murtala Ajaka in the Kogi elections scheduled for November 11 claims that he is a target of assassins.

Ajaka made this known in an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today while commenting on an alleged attack in the Dekina Local Government area of the state.

He said that he was at the police headquarters in Abuja to protest on the matter.

“The attacks are taking place under one commander. You can see the vehicles. The civil defence (officers) they use there are not from Kogi State. They are in Kogi State for the election.

“The event happened in Dekina Local Government. That is the place I normally stay whenever I am in Dekina. I lived there, too. Their target was to get me, my DG campaign and the APC zonal chairman, Mr Ahmad Ata, assassinated. That was their target.

“The governor said he did not want to see me alive. Let them take me to court. I will give the details. I have an audio tape.”

However, Ajaka said that Governor Yahaya Bello wanted to impose a successor on the people of Kogi State, saying the people were solidly behind his candidature.

He said, “The governor wants to impose a successor on the people of Kogi State. But they don’t want Yahaya Bello anymore.”
