The APC members asked the security agencies to compel Ajaka to accept defeat if he wants peace in the state, adding that the election had been conducted and won by APC candidate.
Members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi State have openly told the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not to allow the governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party, (SDP) in the recent poll, Muritala Ajaka, access to election materials.
The APC members asked the security agencies to compel Ajaka to accept defeat if he wants peace in the state, adding that the election had been conducted and won by APC candidate.
One of the members, who spoke to newsmen on behalf of other supporters at the INEC office in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital, Julius Suleiman, said the election that APC candidate, Usman Ododo, won was fair and nobody should challenge it.
Suleiman said, “We are here this morning to address the press and everybody here that Kogi State is peaceful. In the election we held, the INEC conducted a free and fair election, and we want to support what INEC has done and that everybody should bring peace to society.
“We don’t want a problem, a lot of persons or individuals who want to access the INEC materials; we don’t want such individuals to have access to it. What we are saying here today the election is credible, free, and fair. Anybody can go to an election and lose. We want peace in the society, the security agencies should help us talk to Ajaka; no individual is above the law, and he cannot take the law into his own hands.
“We heard what he is trying to do to access the INEC office so he can manipulate his way. Election has come and we have won, APC has won gallantly and the society is peaceful. We don’t want problems in our society. The security agencies; the message is clear, talk to Ajaka and let him accept defeat.”
