Sequel to the recent media report on secret political arrangements, candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the November Kogi governorship election Alhaji, Murtala Ajaka, has denied ever meeting with his All Progressives Congress (APC) counterpart, Usman Ododo.
In a press statement made available to Journalists in Lokoja, by the Director of Communications of the Muritala Ajaka Governorship Campaign Council, Faruk Adejoh-Audu, said “the purported meeting was a piece of fake news put together by the administration of Governor Yahaya Bello.”
He pointed out that the brazen falsehood came on the heels of a disgraceful stage-managed decamping of fake executives of the SDP a couple of weeks ago.
Adejoh-Audu added that since Ajaka left the APC a few months ago, he has not met with chieftains of the party, including Bello and Ododo.
“For the avoidance of doubt the SDP Candidate, Muritala Ajaka who officially left the APC in May this year has never met with Mr Bello and his cousin Usman Ododo at anytime since his defection and has absolutely no reason to want to meet with governor Bello.” the statement added.
“Ajaka and the SDP Horse are galloping to a resounding victory and we shall not be distracted by fake news invented and spread by a drowning outlaw desecrating the revered seat of power in our state.”
“If Bello and Alhaji Ajaka would ever meet again its most likely to be at the handing over ceremony on January 27, 2004.”
Recalled that “An obvious rogue blog known to have been contracted by the criminally depraved brigands that answer to the name of a State Government in Lokoja on Tuesday went to town with the fiction that there had been secret meetings between Ododo the Kogi governorship candidate of the APC and Mr Ajaka of SDP.”
“The campaign council urged Governor Bello to brace up for the defeat that awaits his party and candidate in November.” he added.
