Ododo condemns attack on SDP’s Ajaka

The Kogi State Governor has condemned an attack on the Kogi state Social Democratic Party (SDP) gubernatorial candidate, Alh. Muritala Yakubu Ajaka at the Supreme Court last week.

In a statement on Sunday, the state government said that it condemned in the strongest of terms, the unwarranted attack on Alh. Muritala Yakubu Ajaka at the Supreme Court, moments after the determination of the electoral litigations involving the Governors of  Kogi, Imo and Bayelsa States.

Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo described the conduct of the hoodlums as barbaric, uncivilised and a grave danger to the institution of justice.

He urged Nigerians from all walks of life to eschew resort to self help.

“As a Government, we implore the law enforcement agencies to fish out the perpetrators and make them face the full wrath of the law to serve as a deterrent to others as well as protect the integrity and safety of our court environments across the country.

“We urge all Nigerians to support the path of constitutionalism and unity, which are the core values of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration. We all must support his lofty policies and values for the progress and development of our dear nation,” the statement read.
