It’s deeply disturbing to see caretaker chairmen and House of Representatives members from Kogi East celebrating while innocent lives are being threatened. The attack on Muritala Ajaka, the SDP candidate, is a condemnable act of thuggery that must be addressed immediately. The fact that his security detail couldn’t protect him when needed most raises serious concerns. This premeditated attack is a stark reminder of the culture of violence perpetuated by Yahaya Bello’s administration.
Governor Usman Ododo must take a strong stance against this violence and ensure that such incidents are not repeated in Kogi State. The video of Muritala Ajaka being attacked and struggling to escape the court premises is a chilling testament to the breakdown of law and order in the state.
