 A CONDEMNATION OF THE EXTRA JUDICIAL KILLING OF CITIZENS KABIR OKWO BALA AND MRS ATIMA ABDULLAHI.  The Murtala Yakubu Ajaka Gubernatorial Campaign Organization is alarmed by the official confirmation of  the Kogi State Commissioner of Police, Mr Akeem Yusuf that the extra judicial execution of an All Peoples Congress (APC) Chieftain,  Mallam Kabir Okwo Bala  and a housewife, Mrs Atima Abdullahi by gunmen unleashed on the Ejule Community  of Ofu Local Government Area in the early hours of this morning was masterminded by the State Government of Alhaji Yahaya Bello.  We are indeed shocked that a Governor and the Chief Security officer of a state could plot the cold blooded murder of citizens he had sworn to protect and defend on the alter of desperate politics.  We are aware that the late Okwo was accused of several felonies by the state commissioner of police after his execution but we totally reject the use of these allegations rightly or wrongly...

 BAREWA OLD BOYS ASSOCIATION (BOBA), KOGI STATE CHAPTER CONDEMN THE NEAR DEATH ATTACK ON ALHAJI MURITALA YAKUBU AJAKA (MURI) 1. The Barewa Old Boys Association (BOBA), Kogi State Chapter has condemned in the strongest terms the attack on Alhaji Muritala YAKUBU Ajaka (Muri), the Social Democratic Party's Candidate for 2023, November Gubernatorial Election in Kogi State. 2. This condemnation is in solidarity with 'Muri'- a BOBA who has over the cause of his ambition so far comported himself as an astute democrat, a principled politician and an honorable man who is adhering strictly to the rules of the game. 3. From our preliminary findings, we discovered that Governor Yahaya Bello's Commissioner for Solid Mineral, Bashir Gegu and one Friday Makama, a notorious thug and their boys, who were among the Governor's convoy coming from Abuja were behind the attack. They have vowed to leave no stone unturned in ensuring that Muri does not make it to the election in November. ...

Following the recent Otutubatu-Bagana attack, Omala Local Government Area of Kogi State, the Chairman, National Youth Council of Nigeria Kogi State Chapter, Amb. Usman Ogohi Samuel has called on the government to as a matter of urgency set up a security base or outpost in Bagana; calling for a peaceful solution to end the long-lasting clash.  It will be recalled that this Otutubatu-Bagana crisis in Omala Local Government area has been going on for far too long, the crisis continues to disturb the peace, development and economic activities of this community which serves as an economic hub for that region; an aged long economic town that still indulges in trade-by-barter till date and attracts people from all over the world.  The NYCN boss made the appeal in the youth house, in Lokoja while condemning the recent attack which is always characteri...

Barewa College, Zaria Kaduna State has confirmed that Alhaji Muritala Yakubu Ajaka was indeed a student of the school.  Reaching to an earlier letter which the school was reported to have written in response to an enquiry to verify his history  in the school the Principal Mallam Alhassan Isyaku apologised that there was an inadvertent a mix up. The letter addressed to the Chairman of the Kogi East EldersForum, Chief Gabriel Aduku, said its earlier response was an error of omission.  "After additional investigation of our archieved records I confirm that the Muritala Yakubu with registration number 14667 was a student of the college from 1996 to 1998. However he did not sit for WAEC in 1998 in the college hence the absence of his name in the 1998 WAEC Gazette.  I apologise for the error and we are available should you need further clarification. " The Alhaji Muritala Yakubu Ajaka  Campaign Organization wishes to assure all our teeming supporters that there is ind...

 THE LION, HIS DEN AND THE REST OF US IN KOGI STATE. By Tolorunleke Mathew  Kabba/Bunu  It is no longer news where the Governor of Kogi State Alhaji Yahaya Bello the self proclaimed Lion unleashed  his anger and rage while unveiling the Governorship and Deputy Governorship Candidates of APC in Kogi State in Glass House last Saturday being 3rd of June, 2023 whereupon he called a free citizen of Kogi State ALHAJI MURITALA YAKUBU AJAKA who in recent times has been of immense support to the people of the state an Antelope who must not dare him. This unnecessary outburst elicited a lot of reactions from the surprised and peace loving people of Kogi state who are faced with many issues of survival especially in Lokoja the State Capital who for over 3 months are without portable water supply owing to the inability of the same Governor to service and maintain the Greater Lokoja Water Project known and called IBRO WATER being one of the legacy projects of former Governor Ibra...

 WE CONDEMN THE ATTACK ON Murtala Yakubu Ajaka THE CANDIDATE OF THE SDP ON LOKOJA ROAD TODAY  Politics can be a tough world to navigate. The competition is fierce, the stakes are high, and tensions can run high. Unfortunately, in the race for Kogi State Governor, things recently took a dangerous turn. Muri Ajaka, a gubernatorial candidate of the Social Democratic Party, was attacked with guns shot at his convoy.  The attack on Mr. Ajaka is an attack on the democratic process itself. All candidates for public office should have the ability to campaign and express their views without fear of violence or intimidation. Furthermore, the use of violence to suppress a fellow candidate's message is a dangerous and undemocratic tactic. It is important to note that this incident is not simply a matter of one campaign operation acting out of line; it is reflective of a larger trend of political violence in Nigeria. In recent years, there have been numerous reports of attacks on poli...

 *Social Democratic Party* 31 May 2023 *Preamble* It is a healthy development that various segments of the country, government agencies, professional bodies, investors, labour union leaders, traders, workers, and other associations, are having public discussions on how policies of Government on fuel subsidy could affect their well-being, businesses, and wealth. These have followed the tough decisions taken by the new Tinubu Administration to commence with the removal of fuel subsidy which, if well-handled, could impact positively on both the economic growth and economic development of Nigeria.  *The Position of SDP* To avoid any misconceptions and misrepresentations about the position of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), this is to publicly state the SDP position below for clarification as follows: a. We recognise that sometimes a nation needs to take tough decisions for its survival, and for Nigeria, the moment is here. b. We recognise subsidies as fiscal tools used by g...
