Elder Leke Abejide had been declared the winner of Yagba House of Representative election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) earlier after he outpolled the PDP and APC Candidates in the race to succeed Hon. Sunday Karimi.
We praised INEC and security agencies for making adequate preparations, displaying impartiality and creating the right atmosphere for the relatively peaceful conduct of the polls. A new and positive era of development has come to Yagba land under the able representation of Elder Leke Abejide.
On the contrary, the party also condemned the violence and election fraud in Kogi East Area of the State in the Just concluded elections.
We believed the violence was orchestrated by political opponents in the Senatorial District.
ADC is very strong and ardent promoter of the politics of decorum and peaceful transition.
As a political party who is progressive and masses-oriented, we hail the decision of INEC to declared the Kogi East Senatorial election inconclusive as no election held at Ayingba, Dekina and Bassa due to violence perpetrated by State Government sponsored thugs in all our strongholds.
We urge our members to continue to be peaceful and law abiding as we approach a new era of hope for the people of Kogi State.
