A Chieftain of the All Progressive Congress, Alhaji Muktar Atimah has described as misleading information a statement credited to the candidate of African Democratic Congress,ADC,Leke Abejide that the Kogi state Governor Alhaji Yayaha Bello and the APC candidate, Usman Ododo were related.

“It’s not surprising that that a desperate and a losing candidate of ADC, elder Leke Abejide has been dishing out a misleading information about Governor Yahaya Bello and the APC candidate, Alhaji Usman Ahmed Ododo that they are related.said Alhaji Muktar Atimah.

In a statement issued on Tuesday in Lokoja, Atimah said that while “Yahaya Adoza Bello is from agassa/ahache ward of okene 1 state constituency , Alhaji Usman Ahmed Ododo is from Uporo/odenku ward in okene 2 state constituency of Kogi state.

“It’s fabrication and attention seeking for the ADC candidate to make such statements. When u lie to gain vote definitely you intend to rule the state with lies.” Atimah noted

According to him,”His anchor man from Okehi LGA, the former chairman of Okehi LGA who happened to have benefitted from GYB lead administration by nominating him to a Federal board position(college of education board chairman, Jos in plateau state) has long been reject by the local government he governed especially the critical stakeholders from the Eika district he came from.

The last election his anchor man deliberately lost woefully from the polling unit, ward and local government despite being The DG campaign central.

Elder leke abejide should not be deceived by him and others believing his non factual statement about Kogi Central and kogi state at large.

“Ododo Usman Ahmed is winning the next gubernatorial despite your lies and blackmail by saying he’s related to GYB.

What matters is the good policy, the good ideas, the drive and the determination of Alhaji Usman Ahmed Ododo to make our dear state better than it has ever been”. Atimah added.
