Alhaji Murtala Ajaka, the gubernatorial candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), expressed his confidence in the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC).
Ajaka said he is confident INEC will conduct a free and fair election in Kogi State.
He stated that the people in the state were determined to remove the All Progressives Congress (APC) from governance, and he believed he would win the election.
He made these remarks during the unveiling of a website and donation portal designed by his supporters.
Ajaka was pleased with the public’s interest in his campaign, as they actively contributed through the portal and USSD code, facilitating the campaign efforts.
“We are very happy with the people of Kogi State. From the people contributing, it’s not one section of Kogi State but the contributions cut across the three senatorial districts of the state.
“We should be conscious of our contributions because these guys can just use another person and send huge amounts of money for EFCC to start investigating.
“You resolve to take these guys out and take us in. That’s your resolution. I want to thank you for bringing up this idea because I was thinking this is not America. But we thank God that the response of the people is positive,” Ajaka said, adding that the people of Kogi East had decided to vote for Alhaji Murtala Ajaka.
“There is nothing like the Igala agenda. We have confidence in INEC. I don’t know how to describe the present government in the last eight years but November 11, 2023, will give the answer,” Ajaka said, adding that INEC has a guideline and has always followed it.
“I have full confidence in INEC, I repeat, I have full confidence in INEC. By the grace of God, we are going to win,” Ajaka said.
