Kogi: Natasha Assures Supporters She Will Be On The Ballot

Social Democratic Party, SDP candidate in the Kogi State governorship election, Barr. Natasha Akpoti has called on her supporters not to be discouraged by efforts to disqualify her from the contest saying she would be on the ballot.

Speaking through her campaign manager, Dr. Abdullahi Abdul at a press conference in Lokoja on Saturday, she said she was confident of being on the ballot once the case was presented before an unbiased arbiter.

“Our interpersonal and phone conversations in the last few days have been daunted with question to whether we are contesting the November 16, governorship election or not. And our answer without prejudice to the matter before a competent arbiter is yes.

“Our principal having declared interest, went through primary and emerged victorious with her name forwarded to INEC within the time frame stipulated by law and have met all the eligibility criteria for running for the office of governor, it’s therefore not an issue or any contemplation to be on the ballot box come November 16.

“We are however not unmindful of the orchestrated plan to get us out of the ballot box through the back door, but we are strengthened by the copious facts and outcomes of such attempts by INEC on the contrary.”
