KOGI SDP CANDIDATE ESCAPES GOV BELLO LED ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT

The candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Alhaji Muritala Yakubu Ajaka this afternoon luckily escaped assassination when his motorcade was attacked by gunmen personally led by the Governor of Kogi State Alhaji Yahaya Bello.

Alhaji Ajaka and some vehicles accompanying him were approaching Lokoja at the vicinity of the ram market at about 300pm when two powerbikes and Toyota Hilux overtook his car and forced it to a stop.

This assault was heralded by a Mercrdes Benz Limousine with Bellos official crest accompanied by an open pick- loaded with masked and hooded men bearing AK 47 Assault Rifles.

The men jumped down an began shooting at Ajaka's car and all other cars in the motorcade. They shot for over 5 minutes at Ajaka's bullet proof car unprovoked.

All this while Bello's car was parked a few meters in front and was used to barricade the road while the gun men had a field day.

When they ceased, Ajaka's car, a Lexus SUV though a bullet proof was totally damaged and demobilised.

Among the gunmen is one Friday Makama a notorious thug and a former member of the House of Assembly who recently appointed Director General for Fireams Recovery by Mr Bello. Also identified among the hoodlums accompanying the governor is one Bashir Gegu the commissioner for Solid Minerals who has has a gross reputation for thuggery.

Mr Ajaka who was on his way to keep an appointment with the Mai Geri, The first class traditional ruler of Lokoja and The Attah Igala in Idah decided to abort the journey and return to Abuja after conferring with the Commander of the Lokoja Naval Base.

This again is another low scored by Mr Yahaya Bello in the exercise of crude power and brute force.

Bello is on record to have unleashed guns and gunmen on several citizens in the course of his Eight years draconian rule. Several persons have been killed by his hoodlums during electioneering while others are missing .

Ajaka until recently was a member of the APC who was forced out of the governorship nomination by Mr Yahaya Bello who used minions and proxies to obtain an injunction from a Lokoja High Court restraining him from participating in the primaries.

The brute action today is obviously in a continuation of Bello's desperation to stop Yakubu from continuing in the election.

We appeal to the new President of the Federal Republic, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to demonstrate that his administration will not permit the brigandage of the last eight years which has led to the deaths of thousands of Nigeria.

Election is still five months away, but if Mr Bello does not get a strong signal that violence would not be allowed in the new administration several of our citizens will be killed by his thugs and gunmen before the polls.

Yahaya Bello is a disgrace to the good people of Kogi state. He is a tyrant who does not tolerate opposition. Unfortunately for him
he is leaving Lord Lugard's house in few months time and he will see another person occupying the very seat he killed people to maintained

We read about his attack on Bello earlier and now Bello attacking him. There's too much money and corruption in our politics which is why people are willing to kill to get in/ remain/ over throw athe current government.

Interestingly, both shootings will go without anyone brought to book.

From the past 6 - 7 years, it is obvious Governor Bello does not like a fair fight.
Always violently attacking or scheming against opponents. He will never come out to condemn violence , rather silently condoning it. Very unfortunate.
