The Nation Newspaper SDP candidate Ajaka rejects Kogi Gov tribunal ruling
in Kogi State, Alhaji Murtala Yakubu Ajaka has said his loss at the tribunal to Governor Usman Ododo is a temporary setback, declaring he is prepared to pursue the case to the highest court.
“It is a setback, a moment of disappointment, and it is natural for us to feel disheartened. But let me tell you this, my fellow Kogites, this is not the end of our journey. This is just a chapter in our fight for justice, truth, the rights of our people and freedom”. The SDP candidate added: “Throughout the entire process, our lawyers exhibited the highest level of professionalism and tenacity. They meticulously gathered evidence, scrutinized data, and presented a compelling case to the tribunal, but the tribunal despite agreeing to over-voting struck our case out.
“Today, we must encourage each other to be hopeful, to be relentless in our pursuit of justice, and to keep our faith unwavering”.According to him: “It is in times like these that our resilience is tested. We must remember why we embarked on this political journey in the first place.
“The violence, aggression and intimidation we faced during the election did not stop us. We will not be deterred by temporary setbacks, because our spirit is unbreakable. “I want to remind you all that we are not alone in this fight. The people who believe in us, who have placed their trust in us, are counting on us to fulfil our promise. Let us not disappoint them. Let us rise above this setback, and together, let us reclaim our stolen mandate”.
