The aggrieved SDP Governorship candidate appealed to security agencies to arrest anyone protesting in his name or party.

His words: “I have just been informed of a planned protest by some people claiming to be members of Social Democratic Party, SDP, or acting on my instruction. I did not authorize any protest in Lokoja or Abuja tomorrow, (Saturday).

“Anybody protesting in my name should be arrested. They are all agents of Governor Yahaya Bello trying to cause confusion in the State and possibly in Abuja.

“So please, the security agencies should take note and get these people arrested. Anybody seen with SDP vest tomorrow (Saturday) protesting, they should arrest them. They are agents of Yahaya Bello”.
