Murtala Ajaka, the governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the November 11, 2023 election in Kogi State, has alleged that he is a target of assassination.
Ajaka stated while commenting on an alleged attack in Dekina Local Government of the state during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today.
He said that he was at the police headquarters in Abuja to protest on the matter.
He alleged that the attacks are taking place under one commander using civil defence vehicles.
He also alleged that their target was to get him, the campaign DG and the APC zonal chairman, Mr Ahmad Ata, assassinated.
“The governor said he did not want to see me alive. Let them take me to court. I will give the details. I have an audio tape.”
However, Ajaka said that Governor Yahaya Bello wanted to impose a successor on the people of Kogi State, saying the people were solidly behind his candidature.
He said, “The governor wants to impose a successor on the people of Kogi State. But they don’t want Yahaya Bello anymore.”
