Spurious allegations: Kogi APC says Muritala Yakubu exposing himself as a shallow candidate surrounded by people with low IQ
Spurious allegations: Kogi APC says Muritala Yakubu exposing himself as a shallow candidate surrounded by people with low IQ
*Claim of assassination attempt ‘desperation taken too far’
*Security agents must arrest him now
The Commissioner for Information in Kogi State and Spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress Governorship Campaign, Kingsley Fanwo, has again called on security agencies to immediately invite the Governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party over concocted lies capable of undermining security efforts in the state.
The APC spokesperson, who spoke in a statement he signed on Thursday, said Muritala Yakubu’s latest claim of an assassination attempt was desperation taken too far, adding that “in the process of trying to paint a picture of popularity, he has unwittingly exposed himself as a shallow individual surrounded by people with very low intellect.”
Fanwo said the urgent intervention of the security agencies was necessary in view of the lawlessness being displayed by the SDP candidate and his thugs and the propaganda of playing the victim whenever his people commit crimes.
“It is on record that every political party has been having hitch-free campaigns across the state. But anytime this obviously dubious character who knows well within him that he has no chance in the governorship election, is planning a rally, his fellow hooligans and criminal minded cohorts fashion out all sorts of criminal conspiracies to paint the government in bad light. They commit crime and turn around to play the victim after inducing everyone around them with ill-gotten wealth.
“For the records, the Governor of the state, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, CON, abhors criminals and criminal activities and has made the state unbearable for them since he assumed office. Our various awards in security are there for all to see. We will not allow these set of desperate, clueless hooligans to rubbish our gains. The Police and other relevant agencies must urgently investigate this latest propaganda and make the enemies of peace face the consequences of their actions to serve as deterrent to others like them.
“Muritala Yakubu has, in the process of trying to paint a picture of popularity, unwittingly exposed himself as a shallow individual surrounded by people with very low intellect. November 11 is around the corner. We assure everyone that there will be no violence. The government owes the people the duty to protect lives and property and that we will do without political considerations.
“The SDP campaign clearly has no direction. It is predicated on lies, lies and more lies. The people of Kogi State, most especially, the people of Igala land as well as governorship candidates of other parties, who themselves are from Igala land, have said times without number, publicly, that Muritala Ajaka and his people are liars. Kogi State has not descended to a level where someone with this level of questionable character would aspire to be Governor.
“Our people should ignore their latest antics and the movie script the SDP and their unserious candidate have developed for whoever spoke to the media. It is the last kick of a dying horse. No one is after Muri. He is after himself,” Fanwo stated.
NAWOJ: SEKINAT, CHARITY GETS VOTE OF CONFIDENCE
The Nigeria Association of Women Journalists,(NAWOJ), Ogun State Chapter Executives has unanimously passed a vote of confidence on Chairman NAWOJ SEKINAT Salam and the Financial Secretary, Charity James, saying that, their leadership reflect the ideal and objectives of NAWOJ.
This was revealed in a communique issued at an Emergency meeting of the Executive held at the NUJ State Council, Iwe-Iroyin in Abeokuta.
The vote of confidence on the Leadership of NAWOJ was unanimously signed by all the five executive members that attended the meeting with the vice chairperson taking apology for official engagement outside the state capital.
According to the communique ” Consequently, NAWOJ Ogun State Chapter, reaffirms it’s unwavering support and confidence in the Chairperson and the Financial Secretary, Sekinat Salam and Charity James respectively, Urge them to continue in their commitment to purposeful leadership in the best interest of the association and the society at large”.
Speaking briefly with Journalists after the emergency Executive meeting, the Chairperson, Nigeria Association of Woman Journalists (NAWOJ), Com. Sekinat Salam, said the meeting was necessary as the news of her suspension was laughable and insulting because it is like a pot calling a kettle black in this case, saying that the Leadership of the State Council, Com. Wale Olanrewaju has no local standing to suspend her or any executive member, even he cannot be a judge in his own case.
According to her” The Leadership of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Ogun State led by Wale Olanrewaju has always been misusing power without recourse to the constitution of this noble Union, hence has no local standing to suspend me or any executive member “.
She said only the Central Working Committee (CWC) has the constitutional rights to sanction or suspend any members found wanting after due process has been followed.
While calling on members to stay calm, Com. Sekinat Salam assured members of positive representation of NAWOJ at both the State and National level, adding the success recorded under her administration cannot be overemphasized.
She therefore called on the National leadership of NUJ to critically look into the matter, either by setting up independent committee to investigate the issues and resolve the matter as quickly as possible.
