“The security situation in Kogi State is alarming, and we can no longer trust the CP to handle it,” Ijele said, highlighting the surge in robberies, kidnappings, and other vices.
Ijele shared his personal experience of being almost killed in the state, underscoring the severity of the security situation. He also questioned the CP’s statement on the forthcoming Supreme Court judgment, suggesting political bias.
The campaign team criticized the CP’s focus on political issues while neglecting pressing security concerns. They urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun to remove the CP and address the security challenges.
Meanwhile, Ijele however revealed that former Governor Yahaya Bello is currently residing in the State’s Government House, accommodated by the present governor, Usman Ahmed Dodo.
