An All Progressives Congress (APC) media group known as the Kogi East Progressives Media Forum has this morning issued a stern warning to Hon. Muritala Yakubu Ajaka's media aide, Isaiah Davies Ijele, over his inciteful, hateful, and malicious statement against the newly sworn-in Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Usman Ododo.

The group frowns at Davies Ijele, who accused the governor of corruption and nepotism for barely 24 hours as the governor of Kogi State. The group argued that there is no wisdom in judging a government that is just a day old.

According to the coordinator of the forum, Comrade Hamis Ahmed, his assertion is not only inciteful and vindictive but also baseless and unfounded. We are barely 24 hours into the new government; any attempt to incite the people against the government, we will not allow that; we shall stand to reprimand such a heinous move, he said.

Davies Ijele's statement was a premeditated motive to disconnect the people of Kogi East from the Usman Ododo-led administration. It has a negative imprint on our senatorial district, and we must all rise in unionism to reject the antics by Davies Ijele, says the Director General of the forum, Comrade Shaibu Justice.

The government of Alhaji Usman Ododo is focused on harmonizing the entire state; a statement like that is a mere distraction. The people of the East must leave their past behind them and consider the need to move the state forward with his Excellency, Alhaji Usman Ododo, he said.

The group tasks Muritala Yakubu Ajaka's media assistant with desisting from his attempt to ridicule the current government. We will not tolerate such misleading statements against the Kogi State government; once that happens, he will be made to face the full wrath of the law, they said.

This is not how to play opposition politics. You do not hate someone for hating sake. And the fact that the candidate you supported lost out in the election does not mean the one you didn't support will fail. If you must criticize a government, let it be constructive and on objective grounds. 24 hours is too small to access a government.

Hate him for your sake
