The Social Democratic Party governorship candidate in Kogi state, Alhaji Muritala Yakubu Ajaka, has issued an apology to the Independent National Electoral Commission over its earlier criticism and lack of confidence in the electoral body.
“Mr. Nicholas Ocholi is on his duty post in our Ondo State office in Akure. Ibrahim Egbunu is attending to a very close family member hospitalized in Abuja. Mohammed Adara retired last year and is no longer a staff of the Commission,” INEC said. He observed that the party leadership had thoroughly analyzed the measures implemented by the commission to combat electoral fraud and are confident that the votes of the people will ultimately triumph.
He said he was still shocked that a thug was pursued into the bush and arrested by his security operatives last Wednesday night after a failed ambush turned out to be a serving Assistant Superintendent of Police .
