The Kogi governorship candidate for All Progressives Grand Alliance, Kingsley Ilona, has warned political gladiators in the race for the November 11 gubernatorial election not to throw the state into chaos, saying nobody has a monopoly for violence.
He said, “We encourage peaceful election. In all my campaigns and everything I do, I tell people it must be free and fair. This is what we must do if we’re truly going to serve the people.
“There is an Igala adage that says ‘even a madman knows masquerades.’ Have you seen where a madman tells himself he won’t run when he sees a madman coming? He will run. If you don’t run, the masquerade will flog you. “But whatever it is, I think it is condemnable. We should try to do the right thing. But the warning is simple. Nobody has a monopoly on violence. Nobody can intimidate anybody in Kogi. An election must be free and fair.
