One of the governorship aspirants of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Kogi state, Dr Victor Alewo Adoji has condemned the attack on the party primary
Adoji who described those behind the attack as enemies of democracy said the action was unfortunate and an unacceptable development which situates the State and democracy in the realm of war and limitless desire to conquer.
The statement reads “in the early hours of today, during the ballot-sorting of the PDP gubernatorial primary election in Kogi, the enemies of our democracy came in to disrupt the process with sporadic gunshots that left all of us at the mercy of divine intervention. “My heart goes out to the families of those who lost their lives and the several who were injured by either direct hits or by reason of an attempt to fly to safety. Our agent who was particularly targeted is currently treating bullet and assault wounds and so are many others including Captain Joe Agada whose head is currently been held in place by stitches.
“Tonight, my tears flowed freely and unstoppable as I reminisce the pains and sacrifices you have to go through to stand for what is left of our democracy and humanity. As for the perpetrators, you have only stalled a process and I assure that you lack the capacity to upset the ultimate outcome.
