The media campaign Council of Leke /omede attention has been drawn to the above-mentioned news item on some online blogs purportedly dragging our principal name Elder Leke Abejide image to mulky political water of kogi state which stated that he has completed arrangements to lead Leaders of Okun extraction to the president Ahmed Bola Tunubu to stepped into the on going tribunal case between Ahmed Ododo and Alh Muri Ajaka with a view of truncating justice in favour of the incumbent governor in the state.
We are surprised by the news items in circulation by some mischief makers without recourse to our principal for his comments.
For the records Elder Leke Abejide contested for the office of Governor of kogi state in the last November off season elections under the platform of African Democratic Congress as its flag bearer and immediately the umpire inec released the results , his position was made public that he would support whoever emerged as declared by inec that position has not change.
What was more embarrassing in the news item was attempt to course confusion between the three major ethnic groups in the state when it was alluded that our principal Elder Leke Abejide was drafted into the foray to block the people of kogi East senatorial districts from retrieving their alleged stolen mandate by the incumbent of Alh Usman Ododo from Central senatorial zone.
What was more shocking was the alleged powerful link that existed between our principal and the government of president Bola Ahmed Tunubu that would be used to Rai rolled the government of Ahmed Usman Ododo into power by arm twist the on going tribunal case in favour of the APC led government.
The question is if Elder Leke Abejide has the powerful link, why did he not use it for himself to secure victory in his own favour in the November governorship election? If truth be told about political imbalance in kogi state, why didn’t the former Governor Yahaya Bello shift the power to the west to provide a level ground for all the three zones in the state.? The pictures being banded by these so-called online blogs were the ones taken during the state governor courtesy call to our principal, inviting him to attend his inauguration two months ago in lokoja kogi state capital.
Let it be on record that kogi state belongs to all of us and Elder Leke Abejide is dispossed to friendship with every single contestants that contested the last state governorship election with him, its equally on record that The candidate of social Democrats party, SDP peoples Democratic party PDP and others in the last election have paid our principal Elder Leke Abejide several courtesy calls and The incumbent governor Usman Ododo has followed in the foot steps of others. before, during, and after the governorship elections. Our principal is a democrat and he was among the first contestant to openly refused to contest the outcome of the last election in the November election in the court , he is not in position to truncate the on going tribunal case between the duo of Alh Muri Ajaka SDP and the ruling party APC Ahmed Usman Ododo. Lastly, in the coming days, more courtesy calls from the government officials, NGOs, security agencies, and individuals will be made to our principal, all with a view to foster unity and progress of the state.
