It has become expedient and very necessary to put this rejoinder forward in order to protect the unsuspecting public from the orchestrated deception of the ruling APC in Kogi state through their social media handlers and the current spate of attacks across Dekina Local government Area by the APC thugs.

Yesterday being the 4th November, 2018 I received members of the ruling APC who have decided to resign from the party to join the opposition PDP in Odu ward 2 and Ologba in Iyale ward respectively. The ceremony at Odu ward 2 was peaceful and hitch-free but the one at Ologba took a different dimension as thugs of the current member of the House of Assembly representing Dekina/Biraidu constituency, Moses Idoko took over the roundabout at Ologba and used all kinds of woods and irons to block the road and shooting sporadically and injuring some of the supporters of the PDP.

The leader of the group is Achile Salifu, Isaac Bala and 5 others. Achile is the current Youth leader of APC in Dekina local government. Isaac Bala is the Personal Assistance to Hon. Idoko Moses Ododo. Through the use of conventional security that escorted us we were able to hold our ceremony and we happily received those who resigned their membership of the APC to join the PDP family.

The third venue was Ofejikpi no1 and 2 polling units in Anyigba ward. The event at Ofejikpi was to witness the resignation of some members of the APC and joining the PDP fold. This event was disrupted by thugs of the APC and two vehicles: a Nissan Murano Jeep and and Toyota Camry belonging to Anyigba ward chairman of the PDP and Mallam Ayuba were destroyed and several people injured. The leader of the onslaught against the event yesterday was Alh. Sumaila Yakubu (Agba) followed by Abdul Momoh (aka Madigba), Ibrahimo Alhassan, Ademu Attah (aka Pasho), Enemi Isah and a whole lot of them.

Yasedi Murtala suffered loss of property this morning in the hands of these same thugs. The matter has been reported to the police but we are yet to hear of any invitation extended to these thugs not to talk of any of them being arrested.

Same yesterday at Abocho, the house of the ward chairman was raided by APC thugs led by Kashim Muhammed (aka Diye Mopol), Mathias Ejigbo, Siaka Usman (aka sekere), Husseini Muhammed (aka 001), Sanusi Noah and several of them. In this attack, the house of the chairman was destroyed and four vehicles packed in his compound, the house and vehicle of Hon. Yahaya Menyanga. Yahaya Menyanga is of the APC but his offense is that, his son, Hon. Arome is in the PDP. The DPO in Abocho has been informed and we are still awaiting their reaction to the heinous acts of the APC thugs.

 

Sympathetic supporters at the home of the PDP ward chairman in Abocho, whose vehicles were battered yesterday night (4 vehicles),have again been attacked and police have made illegal arrests of two unarmed young men namely: Senusi Akechi and Abdul Akechi. They have since been handcuffed and detained in Abocho Police Station.

 

This morning, the APC thugs have taken over Anyigba community and attacking property and people. This attack is spearheaded by Kashim Opulega(aka sapata) others are Abdul Momoh (aka Madigba), Sumaila Yakubu Agba, Mustapha Abdulahi (aka umonwu), Mustapha Ige and other hired mercenaries.

 

In the ongoing attacks on Anyigba community, the PDP zonal office has been attacked, House of change- a none political gathering of young men and ladies was not spared. The family of late Alh. Sule Nwankpi has been attacked also.

 

This is to clear the air because of false reportage in the media. We are non-violent but our resolve to rescue our land is not shaken and the steel that makes us will deliver victory.

 

Keep your fingers crossed and do not fear their scaremongering and terror tactics.

– Hon. Benjamin Ikani Okolo

Member, House of Representatives,

Dekina-Bassa Federal Constituency
