A frontline governorship aspirant from Kogi East on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming governorship election in Kogi state, Hon. Murtala Yakubu Ajaka, has described his purported suspension as an “avoidable distraction” saying he will rather remain focused so as to emerge victorious in the forthcoming APC primary election scheduled for April.
Ajaka who is also the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of APC, while stating that the suspension was baseless, as he was not suspended from his ward in the local government as enshrined in the APC party’s constitution will have no effect whatsoever on his ambition to Lugard House.
He noted that his concern presently is to win the primary election.
Media reports had on Thursday announced his suspension which has since been denied by his ward in Ajaka 1.
He said “everything legitimate will be done to ensure a well deserving victory for me at the forthcoming primary election, you can take my words to the bank”
“The constitution is simply unambiguous and the position of the party indicates that any decisions against any member that has not been properly communicated charges against him or has not been given the chance to defend himself shall be voided.
“I am therefore not worried. I am encouraged to work harder for the victory of the All Progressives Congress in the forthcoming governorship election slated for November, just like I did during the Presidential election of Tinubu/Shettima, the National assembly and state assembly elections.
“I urge all my supporters across the state to keep up and continue to work more vigorously in our campaign activities for the ultimate victory of our party.”
Hon. Ajaka was successfully screened for the governorship election today.
