In a swift response to widespread misinformation circulating on social media, the media team of Distinguished Senator Smart Adeyemi (CON) vehemently denies any endorsement or support for Elder Leke Abejide, the ADC Governorship Candidate in the Kogi State elections slated for today, 11th November 2023.
Senator Smart Adeyemi, a stalwart member of the APC, has consistently reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to the party, irrespective of legal battles surrounding the primary elections that declared Alhaji Usman Ododo as the party’s flagbearer. Contrary to the rumours, Adeyemi has not supported any candidate outside the APC.
As the election day unfolds, Senator Adeyemi encourages the electorate to base their decisions on candidates’ achievements and their individual consciences. He emphasizes the importance of loyalty to the APC, stressing that supporting a candidate outside the party would be a betrayal, particularly when three candidates from his Okunland constituency are in contention.
Senator Adeyemi, who has represented Okun people for three terms in the Upper Chamber of the National Assembly, views supporting a candidate outside the APC as a significant political dilemma and a potential threat to the unity of Okun people and Kogi West.
In a statement by Adeleye Oluwafemi Godwin, SA Media to DSSA, the public is urged to disregard the concocted story and falsehood regarding Senator Smart Adeyemi’s supposed endorsement of the ADC Governorship Candidate.
The media team emphasizes that these claims are baseless and could mislead the public. As the election day unfolds, Senator Smart Adeyemi remains dedicated to the APC and cautions against the spread of misinformation that could compromise the integrity of the electoral process.
