Kogi people in Lagos hosts the Social Democratic Party candidate in November 11th gubernatorial election Hon. Murtala Yakubu Ajaka yesterday 20th August, 2023 in Police College Ikeja.

Hon. Ajaka gave the people assurance towards the conduct of the election. He said as a former APC member, they have worked day and night to see President Tinubu through to victory that he will equally rescue the state from the current situation. He enjoined Kogites to be patient with the President amidst fuel subsidy removal and hardship witnessed so far that good things has never come so easy.
