Alhaji Muritala Yakubu Ajaka, the Social Democratic Party’s (SDP) candidate for governor of Kogi State, has disassociated himself from an alleged planned protest by his party’s supporters in Lokoja and Abuja simultaneously today, Saturday.

 

The Kogi State Governorship election results are being challenged in court by Ajaka, who revealed in a 41-second video released on Friday night that the people organizing the protests in Lokoja and Abuja are operatives of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Security services should detain anyone demonstrating in his or his party’s name, the irate SDP governorship candidate pleaded.

 

His words: “I have just been informed of a planned protest by some people claiming to be members of Social Democratic Party, SDP, or acting on my instruction. I did not authorize any protest in Lokoja or Abuja tomorrow, (Saturday).

 

“Anybody protesting in my name should be arrested. They are all agents of Governor Yahaya Bello trying to cause confusion in the State and possibly in Abuja.

 

“So please, the security agencies should take note and get these people arrested. Anybody seen with SDP vest tomorrow (Saturday) protesting, they should arrest them. They are agents of Yahaya Bello”.
