A recent viral video implicating the ADC governorship candidate in the forthcoming November 11 election in Kogi State has created a wave of controversy. However, upon closer examination, it seems that the individuals behind this blackmail attempt lack a basic understanding of communication and have failed to provide the full context of the interaction.
In the edited video, the candidate was seen assuring traditional rulers of adequate welfare whenever they are invited for deliberations on community development. Yet, what the video conveniently left out was the broader focus of the conversation, which revolved around ensuring all-round development and security of lives and properties in the domains represented by the traditional rulers.
Undeterred by this attempt to discredit his reputation, Honorable Leke Abejide, the ADC governorship candidate, remains steadfast and committed to his goal of ensuring better governance for the people of Kogi State. He recognizes that the antics of those behind this blackmail have no effect on his acceptability among the constituents.
In a statement, Hon. Abejide reassured the people of Kogi of his unwavering determination to emerge victorious in the upcoming election. He emphasized his dedication to implement policies that will bring about positive change and usher in a new era of governance that prioritizes the well-being and progress of all Kogites.
The ADC governorship candidate also expressed gratitude for the support he has received from the people thus far and urged them not to be swayed by sensationalized narratives. He remains confident that the people of Kogi State will recognize his track record and vision for the future, ultimately granting him the opportunity to serve as their governor.
As the November 11 election draws near, the focus remains firmly on the issues that matter most to the people of Kogi State. It is crucial that voters consider the candidates’ platforms and moral values rather than being influenced by manipulative tactics. Ultimately, the people of Kogi hold the power to determine the future of their state by choosing a leader who will prioritize their well-being and work towards all-round development and security.
Hon. Leke Abejide stands strong, resolute, and unyielding amidst the controversies, ready to deliver on his promise of creating a brighter future for Kogi State.
