Gov Ododo’s unbeatable leadership resonates as APC sweeps Okura by-election
By Hon Chris Ben-Kato Senior Special Assistant on information and communication strategy
It is often said a golden fish has no place to hide. This of course can solidly be said of the Chief Servant of Kogi State, the Executive Governor of Kogi State, His Excellency Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo’s quality leadership style in the state.
Few days back I wrote on Ododo’s detribalized leadership as it affects his constant official visits to Kogi East and West. Deliberately the governor has proved to every doubting Thomases that he is a unifying leader in Kogi State. He does not sit in Lokoja the state capital alone to pilot the affairs of the state rather he moves to the grassroots to make the electorates have a feel of the government in power. This indeed has made the administration of His Excellency Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo unique and very outstanding in all ramification.
Today we can see for ourselves the resounding victory of Hon Hassan Sado of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in last Saturday’s by-election in Okura State constituency in Dekina Local Government Area of the state. One thing that the victory signifies is the acceptance of the people on the leadership of Governor Ododo in the state.
As a politician I hereby fully congratulate my brother – Hon Hassan Sado on his victory at the polls. Your victory came as a result of hard work and belief in the ideals of our great party – the All Progressives Congress.
For the few in the state who have not joined the winning vehicle – APC in the state, it is time to hurry up and join us quickly. His Excellency Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo is daily and positively too moving the APC train in the state with great results. His achievements in just one and half year in office are so glaring and everyone is beholding them.
Both in human capital and infrastructural development, His Excellency Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo is excelling.
With the Ward Special Assistants put in place for the first time in the history of the state, it is obvious that the people of the state are now having direct touch with the government in power. Today, the people from the grassroots easily communicate with their ward Special Assistants to the governor and the governor in turn continued to receive the feedback of his administration from the people through his Ward Special Assistants. This indeed is what democracy is all about – a government of the people by the people and for the people. Bravo the Chief Servant of Kogi State, His Excellency, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo. You are indeed a core Democrat ably accepted by the entire good people of Kogi State.
What the results of the Okura State constituency by-election signifies is more wins in the years ahead for APC in Kogi State and at the federal level. As for 2027, no one needs any prophecy. APC has never failed in Kogi State. What is very very obvious is that the party would continue to consolidate on its gain in the state in every election in the near future.
His Excellency Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo is doing his best in his constant steps of transforming the state to modern standard. He is daily replicating the President of the federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the renewed hope agenda of the federal government. Kogi electorate must keep following the footsteps of the Servant leader, His Excellency Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo in his continued drive to make Kogi State a better place for all.
Come 2027, ONE GOOD TERM DESERVES ANOTHER TERM for His Excellency Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo
