Newsonline Nigeria reports that the candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Murtala Ajaka is in early lead on the ongoing Kogi State Guber poll.
This Nigeria news platform understands that Mr Ajaka, 45, holds a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) degree in Sociology from the University of Abuja.
He hails from Igalamela/Odolu Local Government Area of the state.
He started his political career as the Deputy State Secretary of the now-defunct Action Congress (AC), FCT Chapter. He also served as the party’s National Assembly Liaison Officer.
Until he defected recently, Mr Ajaka was a member of the APC since the inception of the party in 2013. In 2020, he was appointed a Special Adviser to the national chairman of the party.
In 2022, he was elected the APC’s Deputy National Publicity Secretary at the party’s National Convention. He defected from the party this year after a court barred him from running in the party’s governorship primary.
