Murtala Ajaka, the governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Kogi, has expressed confidence in victory as polls close.
He said this while speaking with journalists at Okotonwa open space, polling unit 005, ward 002, Idah LGA of the state.
After casting his vote, he claimed to have the majority of the votes but also alleged irregularities in Kogi Central.
“From what we are seeing, it is clear that I am the one with the majority (votes),” Ajaka said.
“The report I am getting from the central, Okene, Okehi, and Adavi is that the original result sheet is missing and that they are somewhere compiling the result when an election has not even started,” he added.
“I have forwarded the evidence to the headquarters and the returning officers concerned.
“All the election officers in Adavi, Okene and Okehi have compromised. They are trying to dent the image of INEC and I’m urging INEC chairman to take charge immediately.”
Ajaka thanked President Bola Tinubu for providing “adequate” security for the electoral exercise.
“As you can see, the atmosphere is calm and peaceful,” he said.
