Kogi Guber Race: We Didn’t Suspend Murtala Ajaka – APC
BY Kabir Akintayo
The Ajaka Ward 1, of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Igalamela/Odolu Local Government chapter of the state has refuted the alleged suspension of one of the aspirants, Murtala Ajaka from the party.
This was disclosed in a statement recently signed with a court affidavit by the duo of the ward chairman and secretary, Omale Danladi and Suleiman Abubakar respectively.
The chairman described the circulated letter of suspension of the APC Deputy National Publicity, Hon. Murtala Yakubu Ajaka from the party as fake and handiwork of mischief makers whose aim is to frustrate his selfless political ambition.
He added that one of the proofs to further confirm the frivolity of the letter was the inclusion of the name and signature of a deceased Exco member by the name
Danjuma Sani Ejika (Welfare Secretary) who according to him died on 13 April, 2022
The letter with the heading “RE: SUSPENSION OF YOUR MEMBERSHIP FROM AJAKA WARD 1:
AN UNEQUIVOCAL DISCLAIMER” read: “We refer to the latter dated the 20th day of March, 2023 in respect of the above
subject matter and the issue(s)/allegations contained therein.
“We, the leadership of our great Party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ward
1, Ajaka in Igalamela/Odolu Local Government Area of Kogi State wish to and hereby deny the purported letter of your suspension alongside all the allegations contained therein in entirety, as they are completely frivolous, false and
calculated attempt by political enemies to tarnish the image of the generality of
Ward 1 Party Excos and to distract and frustrate your selfless political ambition.
“The falsehood and mischief of the mischief makers becomes more glaring from the inclusion of the name and signature of our deceased Exco member by the name Danjuma Sani Ejika (Welfare Secretary) who died on 13 April, 2022 on a
purported document containing the names and signatures of Ajaka Ward I Exco
members present at the purported meeting whereat the decision to suspend you was
reached.
“What is more, the place, date and time when we, the Ajaka Ward 1 leadership of
our great party reached the purported decision to suspend you is not stated on the letter.
“While we regret all the inconveniences and pandemonium occasioned by this
mischievous act of the political enemies, may we use this medium to reiterate our
unalloyed support for you before, during and after the elections and to further
assure you that, with your unmatched records and by the grace of God, your
victory in the forthcoming elections is assured.”
