Amb. Ibrahim Akaje addressed the Agbaji APC Joint Zone yesterday at his ancestral home, he used the opportunity to address his teeming supporters and true lovers about the rumours surrounding his defection from the APC to PDP, and termed the rumours as the work of mischief makers and calumny drivers.
In his words: “These are people that we’ve had one or two things to do together in the past, we know what they have to offer, and I can boldly say that it’s anti-people, their aim is to continually impoverish Kwarans so that they can continually milk our commonwealth and give us peanuts, and at the same time end our praises for the continued nightmare of the people, hence, there is nothing I forgot in the drowning dynasty that I would love to go back to take, it’s good riddance to bad rubbish.”
He continued: “You should all recall that the Saraki dynasty has relentlessly tried to lure me into the PDP, but my blunt refusal to dance to their tones has generated the rumours of my defection and launching campaign of calumny against my personality, if you know them, please kindly help tell this to them, Amb. Ibrahim Akaje would continually be an advocate of good governance and sustainable development, and that’s something that’s on a parallel line with the dynasty hegemony.”
Amb. Ibrahim Akaje claims that his silence on the issue is not as a result of cowardice, but to intellectually address the issue and put all stones back in place.
He said: “I would love all my friends, family members and teeming supporters to note that my silence even in the face of the unfounded lies and rumours isn’t because I am timid, afraid, or scared of the hegemony, but because I’ve always craved for an issue based campaign, a paradigm shift campaign form the normal hate and attack politics that contemporary politicians are known for, for one that seeks to attend to issues bordering on the overall development of the State, rather than the attack of personalities.”
He continued: “I want my lovers and supporters to know that I’ve been pushed to the wall, and whatever reactions you’ve all seen lately has been a result of their lies and calumny against my person, actions they speak louder than words, I’m sure that with my recent actions, I have been vindicated and I’m sure their seeds of lies would germinate no more as from today, I apologize to anyone who have been offended by my recent posts, but I just had to set the records straight that I’m not an agent of the dynasty and I would never be”.
He however calmed his supporters and urged them all to remain firm and steadfast in putting an end to the destructive dynasty that has always brought the people of Kwara state to their toes.
He further clarified that he still remain a faithful and an unshaken member of the APC, and by God’s grace, the APC would be victorious in the coming elections to give Kwarans the State they’ve always dreamed to have.
The people said that they are grateful to Amb. Ibrahim Akaje for always being there for APC in Agbaji zone, they prayed for Allah’s safety on him and his family, and beckoned on him to always fight for the youths and masses in general as he has always done.
