Kogi Polls: Our candidate Akpoti remains 'undaunted' despite attack -- SDP

The Social Democratic Party has explained why it refused to sign the Independent National Electoral Commission’s peace accord aimed at ensuring peace in the upcoming polls in Kogi.In a statement signed by the SDP spokesperson, Akinbode Oluyemi, on Tuesday, it said the party’s governorship candidate, Natasha Akpoti, remains ”undaunted and resolute” despite the attacks on its party.

Similarly, the governorship candidate, who was cleared by the Federal High Court in Abuja last week to contest the elections,at the venue of the consultative meeting with political stakeholders organised by INEC in Lokoja, the state capital, on Tuesday. ”Our governorship candidate will certainly be voted for by the teeming masses of the state that have repeatedly demonstrated their confidence and trust in her as the candidate that has the truest interest of Kogi at heart,” the statement said.

”We count on the Inspector-General of Police to act swiftly and patriotically to expressly order a full-scale investigation into the crime to identify the sponsors and the criminal elements that perpetrated that atrocity on our Party and bring them to justice.”The situation got worse today at a so-called gathering for the signing of a Peace Accord among contestants in Lokoja.
