Stay Away From Kogi State Election
The Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello has warned hoodlums to steer clear of the upcoming governorship poll in the state.
The governor stated this while responding to Sunday’s attack on the Social Democratic Party (SDP) governorship campaign office in Lokoja, believed to have been carried out by suspected political thugs.
Speaking via the state’s Commissioner for Information, Kingsley Fanwo on Monday, the governor urged security agencies to fish out the perpetrators of the crime and ensure that justice is served.
He insisted that attacking the campaign office of any political party is a criminal act and would not be tolerated.
Fanwo said “The Kogi State Government will continue to support the freedom of anyone and everyone to aspire to positions in line with the ethos of democratic values. Attacking the Campaign Office of any political party is criminal and would not be condoned.
“The government wishes to warn criminals and hoodlums to stay clear of the Kogi governorship poll as the State Government will deal with criminals as criminals.
“We also expect political parties to desist from making uninformed, malicious and inciting statements that are capable of disturbing the peace of the state.”
The 2023 Kogi gubernatorial election will be held on November 11 to elect the successor of Governor Bello who is term-limited and cannot seek re-election to a third term.
