The world know those who want Natasha dead.

The attention of distinguished Senator Ahmed Ogembe has been drawn to a publication titled “evil machination : plans to incapacitate Natasha, blame it on APC exposed” credited to a faceless group which pride itself as Kogi Central media crew wherein they accused the senator and PDP of planning to kidnap and kill  Barr Natasha Akpoti.

Ordinarly, the publication which was not signed by anyone on behalf of the faceless group deserves no response from the office of distinguished senator but for the weighty allegation capable of heating up the already charged political atmosphere in Kogi central.

To set the record straight, Distinguished Senator Ahmed Ogembe is a peaceful man who do not believe anyone should die because of his ambition, he has conducted himself in a peaceful manner and urged his supporters to do same despite many provocations and violent attacks on him and his supporters.

It is also worthy of note that Senator Ogembe did not see Barr Natasha  or any other candidate for that matter running for the same office with him as an enemy who should be crushed and killed but rather partners in development of Kogi central who are encouraged by his impactful programs and peoples oriented projects and want to follow his footsteps.

For the avoidance of doubt, the world know those who want Barrister Natasha dead, the world know those who unleashed violent attacks on the supporters of SDP and PDP alike, the world know those who killed Ojo Enesi. Arrest was made by the police and the culprit confessed in a viral video to be working for the APC and those in government.

The antecedents of Senator Ogembe as a chairman of Okene local government is well known, he chaired a government that ensured peace in Okene and environs, he encouraged the youths to avoid crimes and engaged them productively but unfortunately, those gains and virtues has been lost to the current government of APC who is now championing and encouraging youths to carry arms against their own people in the name of politics.

For us in PDP, we will continue to champion a peaceful campaign, our engagements will be issue based, we will continue to tell the people what we have done and what we will do to consolidate on our gains, we will continue to encourage our supporters not to engage anyone in violence as the blood of every of our supporters and opponents alike is precious to us and should not be spilled on the alter of politics.

We therefore want to draw the attention of the security agencies especially the police to this sinister move by the APC led government in the state to create major crisis in Kogi central. We implore the police to investigate and made those planning to cause crisis face the full wrath of the law.
