Kogi SDP Candidate Murtala Ajaka Denies Role in INEC Protest

Kogi State’s former Social Democratic Party gubernatorial candidate, Murtala Ajaka, has publicly denied any involvement in a recent protest against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Ajaka stated that he neither sponsored nor authorised the demonstration, labeling the reports that linked him to the action as false and misleading. The protest, which targeted INEC’s operations, was organized by a separate group of activists. Ajaka’s statement was issued through a press release and a brief interview with local media. By distancing himself from the event, Ajaka seeks to clarify his position ahead of the upcoming elections and to prevent any potential damage to his political reputation. The denial comes as the protest continues to draw attention from voters and election observers.
