The lawmaker representing Kogi West in the National Assembly
Senator Smart Adeyemi has cried out over the alleged threat to his life and
that of his family.
Senator Adeyemi in a statement he personally signed on
Friday evening, noted that he had been told not to run for the Kogi West
Senatorial District seat in the upcoming election.
Adeyemi, who is seeking to return to the Senate for the
fourth time indicated that he had alerted the appropriate authorities of the
alleged threat to his life.
Although Adeyemi did not reveal the names of people who were
threatening his life, he, however, claimed that his perceived opponents wanted
him to drop his reelection bid so that someone else may run in the election to
fulfil a rotation agreement.
He promised his fans that nothing would stop him from
running and that the people’s will would prevail.
“I have been persuaded and motivated to contest this
election in continuous service to my people after very thoughtful deliberations
with very senior folks and my constituents who believe in me. As a citizen of
Nigeria, I am consequently adamant to go ahead, regardless of the
repercussions” he added.
