The Kogi State APC Governorship Campaign Council has accused the Social Democratic Party of the plan to destroy every relevant government institution just to maintain their false claim to popularity.
A statement by Mr. Kingsley Femi Fanwo, Spokesperson/Director of Media and Publicity of the council said that the failed attack by supporters of SDP on State INEC Office in Lokoja has confirmed the recent alarm that the party is determined to destroy every relevant government institution just to maintain their false claim to popularity.
It said that the attempted plan to lynch INEC staff and burn down the INEC Office was gallantly averted by security agents, adding, ” Their promptness and professionalism is highly commended as their timely intervention saved what would have been a bloody day as weapon-wielding thugs of the SDP were dangerously threatening to make the state ungovernable.””
The statement reads in part, “”The laughable story of the SDP that the thugs were hired by our party is no deviation from their culture of terrible and senseless propaganda and strategy to blame everyone else for their own actions. It is high time the thoroughly defeated candidate of the SDP and his co-travellers to an unknown destination are arrested to forestall further breakdown of law and order.
We call on APC supporters to remain law abiding in the face of glaring provocation. War is about using one’s best to the worst to oneself. The Governor-Elect will be sworn in on January 27, 2024 to advance the frontiers of development in our dear state.
As earlier stated, we wish to reiterate our readiness for any legal challenge as we know we won an election adjudged as the freest and fairest in the history of our dear state””.
