He declared his support for the SDP, saying that APC cannot win governorship election in Kogi with Ododo Ahmed Usman as candidate.
The popular politician made his position known in Lagos on Thursday while addressing newsmen ahead of the visit of the SDP Guber candidate to Lagos this weekend.
He cited manipulation and rigging of the Governorship primary election which produced Ododo as candidate as one of the reasons he has defected and throwing his weight behind the SDP’s candidate.
He said: “I have made up my mind to mobilise support for the SDP candidate which is consequent upon the high level of betrayal, deception, treachery and extortion witnessed in the just concluded APC primary in the State,” he alleged.
He further noted that despite his investment and commitment to the APC as a party he can not patronise falsehood and dishonesty at the expense of personal political philosophy.
JAM added that the current attack on the SDP and Muri supporters in Kogi State can not distract God from making the SDP candidate emerge victorious come November 11th.
