RE: Misleading Press Conference By Anti Democratic Group called “United Front for Democracy”

We condemn in totality the press conference of an anti Democratic, anti progressive, anti people, anti truth, bias, directionless cum non-existent group that called itself “United Front For Democracy.

This group by its name is fraudulent, compromised and against anything that promotes healthy democratic process.

This unknown group whose activities overtime is directed by corrupt Politicians and autocrats disguising as Democrats addressed the press in Lokoja lying that our party; the Social Democratic Party (SDP), candidate and legitimate winner of the November 11 election, Alhaji Murtala Yakubu Ajaka did not “file petition against APC within the stipulated 21 days and that the SDP is planning to smuggle in the petition through backdoor in connivance with two of the tribunal members”.

For the records, the SDP paid for the filling on the 1st Friday and filed on the 2nd Saturday December, 2023. Go and Verify

We are not surprised that a dubious group like the United Front For Democracy can lie to the press and the world because conniving with enemies of democracy has been their trademark. This unknown group that is financed by looters of public funds lacks the moral right to talk about the SDP.

This evil assembly of miscreants was quiet when Yahaya Bello; the chief Executive of lawlessness, let hell loose on members of the opposition in Kogi state.

Where was this group when Prof. Johnson Urama and Professor Sani Muhammed illegally called an election still under dispute despite our outcry of irregularities.

Where was this group when the state government used the security apparatus of the state to assassinate two police officers and two civilians when they attacked the house of our DG Campaign Sheikh Ibrahim Jibril in Anyigba and held me hostage against my will three days to the election?

Where was this same paid, inexistent group of hungry and jobless men when Governor Yahaya Bello refused to pay Local government workers and kept paying percentage salaries for almost 8 years? Where were these miscreants when Bello was hunting Murtala Ajaka?

They never spoke against the evil administration of their patron Yahaya Bello all these years. Sadly, today they are making mockery of themselves in public. Today, they confirmed that they are a propaganda group loyal to the highest bidder.

We are calling on the public to disregard their position as it is untrue. This group is too evil to speak about democracy as there is no record of them defending democracy and the downtrodden anywhere.
