By Abubakar S.H
The Spokesman of Kogi State APC Governorship Campaign Council, Evangelist Kingsley Fanwo has said the campaign office of All Progressive’s Congress,APC, in Dekina local govt has been vandalized by hoodlums supporting the SDP in the area.
In a statement made available to the media on Wednesday, the spokesperson of APC therefore called on the attention of general public and law enforcement agents to investigate the incident and ensure that the culprits are arrested and prosecuted.
According to him, ” It is unfortunate that after realising that their ethnic jingoism is not achieving desired results for them, a handful of supporters openly associating with the SDP Governorship Candidate, Yakubu Muritala are visiting their livid frustration on our campaign offices across Kogi East”.
It further commended the people of Kogi East for standing by the candidate, Ahmed Usman Ododo, which he said stands as the signposts of unity in our dear state and believing in a united and prosperous state.
” In the face of the obvious provocation and violation of the civil way of playing politics, we urge our supporters in Dekina LGA to avoid the temptation of launching a reprisal as our party stands for peace. We are widely accepted across the state and only the losers are displaying cowardice”.
The spokesperson revealed that they have made a preliminary report to law enforcement agencies and its Legal Directorate is filing a more comprehensive report with the hope that law enforcement agents will do what is right, investigate the matter thoroughly and ensure perpetrators are prosecuted to serve as a deterrent to others nursing such acts of cowardice.
” As a party, we remain committed to peace and will not join destroyers and ethnic jingoists in their acts. We will do what is right, just, fair and peaceful”.
