Gov. Bello Directs Security Agencies To Apprehend Vandals Of SDP Office In Kogi

From Noah Ocheni, Lokoja

The Kogi state government on Sunday evening directed security agencies in the state to investigate and apprehend perpetrators of the alleged attack on Social Democratic Party (SDP)’s office with the aim of bringing them to justice.

In a statement issued by the commissioner for information and communication, Kingsley Fanwo and made available for the press in Lokoja warned hoodlums that the Kogi Governorship Election will be decided by the ballots, not by bullets.

“Our attention has been drawn to an alleged vandalization of the Campaign Office of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Lokoja. We condemn the act in its entirety as being barbaric, undemocratic and unacceptable to the people and Government of Kogi State.”

He pointed out that the State Government will continue to support the freedom of anyone and everyone to aspire to positions in line with the ethos of democratic values. Attacking the Campaign Office of any political party is criminal and would not be condoned.

The statement, however, warned criminals and hoodlums to stay clear of the Kogi Governorship Poll as the State Government will deal with criminals as criminals. “Parties should also desist from making uninformed, malicious and inciting statements that are capable of disturbing the peace of the state.”

“As a Government, we will support law enforcement agencies to ensure free, fair and credible poll on November 11, 2023. We have put machinery in motion to ensure the safety of our people before, during and after the election. Parties are also enjoined to go about their campaign in an orderly and peaceful manner.”
