Just In: Ex-Kogi Guber Aspirant Murtala Ajaka Tenders Public Appeal to Yahaya Bello Online

STATEMENT

A Call for Peace, Unity and Progress of Our Dear State.

As part of my commitment to consult widely and ensure that every step I take reflects the collective will and best interest of the people of Kogi East, I find it necessary at this moment to speak directly to my people.

The journey of the November 2023 gubernatorial election remains a defining chapter in our collective history. I had the honour of contesting under the platform of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), driven by a sincere desire to serve and to advance the interests of our people. That aspiration was never personal; it was born out of a deep conviction that our state could move forward in a more inclusive, just, and progressive direction.

During that journey, I witnessed extraordinary courage and sacrifices that words can scarcely capture. I remain profoundly grateful to every individual, every group, and every community that stood with us, our elders, our youths, our women, and our supporters across the state. I must also pause in solemn remembrance of our gallant supporters who lost their lives in the course of that struggle. Their sacrifices will never be forgotten. I pray that Almighty God grants them eternal rest and comforts their families. Their memory must continue to guide us toward building a more peaceful and united Kogi State.

However, it is also true that the intensity of that period strained relationships and deepened divisions. In particular, the political disagreement between me and the then-Governor of Kogi State, His Excellency Alhaji Yahaya Bello was marked by strong differences. I wish to state, clearly and sincerely, that those differences were never personal, but driven by the circumstances of the time and the passion for the causes we each represented.

In the overriding interest of peace, unity, and the progress of our dear state, I believe it is both necessary and honourable to rise above the past. I extend a hand of understanding and goodwill, and where my actions or words may have caused offence, I PROFOUNDLY APOLOGIZE in the spirit of reconciliation. I have chosen to let go of all grievances and move forward with a clear heart, without reservation.

At this critical point in our state’s journey, we must remind ourselves that no ambition, no contest, and no individual interest is greater than the peace, stability, and collective advancement of Kogi State.

Our focus must now shift from division to unity, collaboration, and from the past to the future; we must build together.

I remain committed, as always, to the service of our people, to the ideals of peace and inclusion, and to the shared goal of a stronger, more prosperous Kogi State.
Together, we will move forward.

STATEMENT

Over the past months, I have been deeply humbled by the overwhelming show of concern, encouragement, and trust from our people. I have received countless calls, hosted numerous visits, and engaged in meaningful discussions with elders, political associates, youth groups, friends, and well-meaning stakeholders across Kogi East and beyond.

These conversations have consistently centered on the future of our politics, the direction of our people, and the need for purposeful representation. Many have urged me, with sincerity and conviction, to step forward and offer myself for service in the Senate.

While I have taken time to reflect carefully on these calls, one moment that stood out profoundly was the recent visit by a respected delegation of Kogi East elders who came to my home. Their counsel, wisdom, and unity of purpose further reinforce the responsibility we all share toward the progress and development of our land.

In respect of the wishes of our people, in honour of the prevailing understanding among stakeholders, and in the overriding interest of peace, unity, and collective advancement, I have decided to answer this call.

I will, therefore, offer myself to serve as the Senator representing Kogi East Senatorial District.

This decision is also firmly guided by my commitment to the stability, unity, and progress of our party, the All Progressives Congress (APC). It is equally driven by the need to further intensify our collective efforts to mobilize widespread support for the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, ensuring the successful delivery of his mandate and consolidating the foundation for his re-election in 2027.

During these consultations, I have engaged with critical stakeholders, and I remain committed to further necessary engagements. I look forward to deeper consultations, including with His Excellency, Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo, as part of the ongoing process.

As we move forward, I will continue to consult widely with our people, provide timely briefings, and ensure that every step taken reflects the collective will and best interest of Kogi East.

Our people remain my foremost priority. I am committed to a path defined by unity, inclusion, and purposeful representation.

Together, we will build a stronger, more prosperous Kogi East.
