The 2023 governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Kogi State, Murtala Yakubu Ajaka, has urged his supporters not to despair in the face of the adversity being experienced in the state.
Ajaka made the call on Friday in a statement he posted on his Facebook page, where he also extended gratitude to those who have tirelessly stood by him despite the ensuing challenges.
Ajaka and the SDP are challenging at the state election petition tribunal the result of the November elections where the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declare the All Progressives Congress candidate Ahmed Usman Ododo as governor.
To overcoming oppression and intimidation is never easy, he said, adding that “we can find the strength to rise above it and achieve victory. I want you to remember that our fight is not just about us; it is about creating a better future for all. It is about standing up for justice, equality, and compassion.”
