The esteem members of the “Like Minds Alliance Pressure Group”, has condemned and express deep disappointment to recent fabrications of Austin Okai and his cohorts, stressing that his actions and behavior is a perfect example of what not to do.
In a chat with political pundits, Leaders of the group states that Austin Okai and allies are only peddling provocatively insane lies that raise questions about their mental state. And such behaviors are detrimental to the state’s progress.
Austin Okai, a former PDP candidate for Dekina/Bassa federal constituency in the 2023 general election is facing trial over a social media post in which he alleged that Governor Ododo misappropriated billions of naira meant for LG councils and state agencies.
A Magistrate court in Lokoja , Kogi State on Friday ruled in favor of the prosecutions request to remand Mr Austin Okai over allegations of Cyberstalking and criminal defamation against Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo.
DSS’s prosecution counsel, lzo lsaac , said that the arrangement of the accused is to ensure compliance with the law, by not keeping him beyond 48 hours in our custody, without the lawful permission of the court in line with the Criminal Justice system..
The courts ruling ensures that Okai remains in custody while investigations continue..
Recall that Austin Okai persistent dissemination of provocatively insane lies against the kogi state government and its officials have become politically more acrimonious than ever before..
These archaic expressions have undermined the decency and decorum of democracy.. The fundamental deficiency thus exposes the lack of congruence between self- perception and self-expression of such party member and their supporters..
According to chief Asaje, the use of indecent words by political actors thus poses a serious threat to kogi democratic dispensation as it can escalate into serious conflict with social, political and economic ramification..
Recently, Austin Okai charged Ododo to curb what he described as the unchecked and excessive powers of the State’s Accountant General, Habiba for a reason best known to him and his cohorts..
“We call on Austin Okai and associate’s to shealt their swords.. Such an acrimony that is reflected in the discussions in the electronic media , by implication, has led to exasperation in the culture of serious and robust debate..
“Austin Okai and his cohorts are hell- bent on plunging kogi into anarchy over their failure to grab power in the last election..
“We have to move beyond politics, the governor is in the face of governance and determined to deliver to the expectation of the general populace.
Chief Asaje therefore lauded kogi governor for extending and expanding the frontier of socia economic and infrastructure development to the grassroots and said that Governor Ododo’s administration has rejuvenated the standard of living of the rural dwellers.
The welfare of the people, particularly the civil servants and rural dwellers topped the agenda of Governor Ododo, and he has continue to showcasing exceptional leadership and strategic prowess.
With this, we have come up with excellent evaluation and we are of the opinion that by virtue of our position, role and purpose in the society, it is important to caution ralble rousers/bunch of political failures comforting themselves and their followers with fairytales.
Austin Okai and associates ought to understand that kogite are well apprised of their proclivity for mischief and so all their labour of lies is for the trash can.
Paying bloggers to promote blatant falsehoods, and loading social media with hog wash isn’t working.. Chief Asaje exclaimed.
