What transpired was clearly marred by a grand conspiracy and coordinated manipulation against our collective democratic aspirations.
“Nevertheless, I urge all members and supporters of the YMK NIGERIA PROJECT to remain calm, peaceful, law-abiding, and resolute in this difficult moment. We must not allow provocation, disappointment, or frustration to derail the noble cause we have collectively built.
“I want to assure you that we have already initiated appropriate steps through constitutional, party, and legal channels to challenge these irregularities and reclaim our stolen and overwhelming victory. We remain committed to due process, justice, fairness, and the rule of law.
“This struggle is not merely about an election; it is about protecting the integrity of democracy, defending the voice of the people, and securing the future we all believe in for our nation.
“I therefore appeal to all our supporters nationwide to remain united, steadfast, vigilant, and hopeful. Do not lose faith. Do not be discouraged.
“History has consistently shown that truth and justice ultimately prevail over conspiracy and manipulation.
“Further developments and necessary directives shall be communicated to you accordingly through our official communication channels.
May God Almighty continue to bless and strengthen us all.
Yours faithfully,

Ajia, in a statement issued on Tuesday by his Director of Communications and Strategy, Mallam Abdulrahman Aliagan, said Eid-ul-Kabir remains a sacred season that teaches the values of sacrifice, obedience, tolerance, humility, and unwavering faith in Almighty Allah.
He noted that Nigeria’s present political and economic realities demand selfless leadership and sincere commitment to the welfare of the people, especially as political activities ahead of the 2027 general elections continue to intensify across the country.
“Eid-ul-Kabir is not only a celebration of faith and sacrifice, it is also a reminder that leadership must be built on justice, compassion, accountability, and service to humanity,” Ajia stated.
The philanthropist and community leader stressed that Kwara State has continued to enjoy relative peace because of the culture of tolerance, harmony, and mutual respect among its people, warning against divisive politics capable of heating up the polity.
“Political ambition should never override the peace and unity of Kwara State. Leaders and supporters across party lines must avoid inflammatory rhetoric, bitterness, and actions capable of disrupting the peaceful atmosphere the state is known for,” he added.
Ajia further urged political actors to place the collective interest of the people above personal or sectional considerations, saying the state’s democratic future must be driven by issue-based engagements and peaceful participation.
The Ilorin-born security expert commended the Emir of Ilorin, Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, for his consistent fatherly leadership and commitment to peace, unity, moral guidance, and harmonious coexistence among the people of Kwara State and beyond.
“The Emir of Ilorin has continued to serve as a symbol of peace, moderation, and unity. His fatherly role and wise counsel remain invaluable to the stability and progress of Kwara State,” Ajia said.
Ajia, also called on Nigerians to use the Eid celebration to pray for national healing, economic recovery, improved security, and sustainable development across the country.
“As Muslims commemorate the sacrifice and devotion of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), Nigerians must embrace love, peaceful coexistence, mutual respect, and renewed hope for a better future,” the statement added.
He prayed that Almighty Allah accepts the prayers and sacrifices of the Muslim faithful and grants Nigeria enduring peace, stability, and prosperity
