According to him, “We have absolute confidence in INEC. The rules are very clear, INEC has a guideline and they have always followed their guideline. Whichever way INEC decides to conduct the election, we are ready to follow them. I have absolute confidence in INEC that we are going to have a transparent election in Kogi State and by the grace of God we are going to win.
“We are prepared in all ramifications, they will be the ones to challenge us in court should we win. By the grace of God with the support of our people, we are winning.
“The people of Kogi East have taken a decision as to who is their choice. Their choice is Muri Ajaka. So there’s nothing like Igala agenda, what we have is the Kogi agenda”.
