 Alhaji Murtala Yakubu Ajaka Condemn Agojeju-Odo Massacre; Calls For The Declaration Of State Of Emergency.


I condemn in strong terms the reoccurring maiming and killing of innocent kogites in Bagana, Otutubatu, Iyade, Agbenema, Agojeju-Odo and other affected communities in Omala Local Government Area of Kogi State.


The life of every kogite is sacred and important and it is the responsibility of the  state government to protect the masses against internal and external aggression. It is high time the state government sit-up to its primary responsibility of securing Kogi state.


I urge the current occupants of Lugard house to put an end to the crises and heightened insecurity in Kogi state by mobilizing all the resources needed to solve the present conflict and to prevent future occurrence or step aside. The security apparatus of the state should be deployed to maintain order and stability in the affected areas immediately.


I call on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s led Federal Government to intervene in the matter since the state government has failed the people. I am certain that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will not allow his government to be overrun with insecurity in any part of the country and therefore, Kogi state should not be allowed to turn into a killing field. 


The safety of lives is the first priority in governance, if the current leadership cannot handle the crises let the federal

Government steps into the crisis. To this end, Mr President should declare a state of emergency in Kogi state because over 35 people were brutally killed and the state government is doing absolutely nothing about it.

I am also appealing to the Inspector General of Police, all the Service Chiefs and the National Security Adviser to swiftly intervene and thoroughly investigate the cause of the persistent crisis. I seek humanitarian assistance for those displaced by the conflict. 


I share in the grief of the families of those that lost their lives in the unfortunate incident and call on  the people to be steadfast and cooperate with the men of our security forces for the restoration of peace.


Signed;

Murtala Yakubu Ajaka

  OPEN LETTER : GOVERNOR ODODO'S INTERVENTION ON THE ARREST OF COMRADE USMAN AUSTIN OKAI IS SACROSANCT The name of His Excellency, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo has gained traction and continued to dominate positive conversations on the social and the conventional news media as a Peace Ambassador, Servant Leader and a born Unifier given his antecedents on prompt payment of salaries, arrears and other emoluments for workers and the retired civil servants of Kogi State.  Your Excellency, Sir, I have been around the men and  women of authority in governance, at the corridor of power and at the helm of affairs within and outside Kogi State and for sure, it is not easy and rosy to be the Governor of Kogi State which is undoubtedly the microcosm of Nigeria given her heterogeneous nature and the borders it shares with ten (10) other sub-nationals in about three (3) sub-regions of South East, South-South and South West including other States within her own North Central geopolitical z...

ABENEMI’S CARETAKER COMMITTEE OF KOGI SDP: A FARCE?

  ABENEMI’S CARETAKER COMMITTEE OF KOGI SDP: A FARCE? The situation regarding the caretaker committee established by the SDP in Kogi state is beginning to shift, as the presiding judge has decided to return the case to the Chief Judge (CJ) for reassignment to a substantive judge once the judicial vacation ends. This decision is significant because, upon reassignment, the new judge will set a fresh date for the hearing, which, according to reports, may be sometime in October or November. Until then, all parties must maintain the status quo, meaning, Hon. Moses Peter will continue as the chairman, and the caretaker committee's actions will be rendered ineffective, making all their decisions null and void. In terms of the upcoming elections, this implies that: - The Kogi State Independent Electoral Commission (KOSIEC) will be legally bound to recognize Moses Peter as the party chairman and work with him on all electoral matters. - Candidates not presented to KOSIEC through the office ...
