Former gubernatorial Candidate under the canopy of Abundant Nigeria Renewal Party (ANRP) Doctor Ajia AbdulMumini has continue threatening People's Democratic Party Gubernatorial candidate Abdullahi Shuaibu over the breach of contract.
Doctor Ajia stated this while addressing journalists in Ilorin, the Kwara State Capital, explained why he would not be distracted on the course of his judgement.
He further disclosed that his dispute with Abdullahi Shuaibu Yaman which has turned into a political circus show by some unethical elements. And while the instant case started during the defendant’s days in the APC, the issue in dispute isn't a political one and I detest attempts to turn it into one
Lately, it has been observed that in public discourse — there is a growing disregard for the truth and a deliberate attempt to be careless with facts and evidence (Fischer, 2022).
Those behind the malicious article under reference deliberately concocted a scenario further from the substance of the suit between Abdullahi Shuaibu Yaman and me and it became clear to me that these are people that are contemptuous of the truth and would do any and everything to fight their opponents including embracing deliberate falsehoods; I am not one of those.
This episode has shown this fly-by-night - hack writers as people without scruples as they went to town with a patently false story. My dispute with Abdullahi Shuaibu Yaman is anchored on the truth and cannot be tainted by the shenanigans of a few paid no scruples to hack writers.
In the same vein, I will not be distracted in my pursuit of justice and I am using this medium to warn these unscrupulous individuals and their paymasters to keep my name off their mouths and sell their candidate or candidates without muddling the waters.
I believe in ethics and my philosophical training and belief are anchored on the golden rule. I am using this press conference to warn those behind the article in question and their sponsors to find another trade and as the case goes through the court, everyone, traditional media, new media, and citizen journalists need to report only the truth as observed in the court proceedings. Nothing else will suffice.
It is clear to me that some people want to create some bolekaja scenario in an attempt to muddle the waters and avoid substantive debates about the state of Kwara and where we are headed in the next four years. Though Abdullahi Shuaibu
Yaman will not have my vote and is a member of the APC, I will not accept nor be associated with a campaign of calumny and I reject emphatically any attempt to link my name with such.
Let it be known that my involvement in both Kwara and Nigerian political life is a result of an undying concern that we can do better as a people. Especially here in the great state of Kwara, we are blessed to live in one of the most endowed states in Nigeria. And while it is true that we have abundant mineral resources, agricultural land, and waterways, our greatest resources are the people. Industrious, hard = working folks, who despite the tough economy keep on going, they are the reason why I got involved.
Because I realized early on that my prosperity is tied to theirs and that I haven't succeeded if some people in Kwara are still living in poverty is why all of my investments except a few are in Kwara. My large-scale commercial farm, real estate firm, management consultancy, hospitality business, educational institution, and tone project, Safehands technologies DBA safehanzz.com are all sited here in the great state of Kwara. These are organizations with people drawing salaries and taking care of their families.
Recently, I funded an endowment at the Kwara State University in memory of my late mother. The Hajia Habiba Bola Ajia Memorial Foundation Prize in Entrepreneurship was established to help indigent students, particularly female ones to get through the university. Before now, my philanthropic organization, Kwara Development Initiative has helped several kwarans out of poverty. And in continuation of my philanthropic ways, I recently established the Agaka Football Academy and the Ilorin Gifted Academy. Both of these organizations are established to help the neediest but often neglected ones among us.
These are the reasons why I am involved in our political process because it is too important to leave career politicians alone. My advice to young people on social media in particular is to have a long view and not allow politicians no matter how highly placed to destroy their futures. | implore them to resist the urge to write fabricated stories about people even when they are on opposing sides. I disagree with the view that says all is fair in love, war, and in politics. | believe fundamentally that governance is important and shouldn't be turned into
a circus show and that opposing sides should be ready to debate the issues not; resort to mudslinging and campaigns of calumny.
I will also like to say to those on Abdullahi Shuaibu Yaman’s payroll — people like Wahab Oba and Mustapha Abdullahi CommonSense — who ironically have no dint of sense — You all will be hearing from my lawyers very soon. Though | have a dispute with your principal, I will not descend into the gutter and will not resort to blackmail. I will pursue justice with ethics as my guiding principle. And since you both have violated this normative principle, the two of you along with your principal must be ready to face the consequences under the law
