Speaking shortly after receiving his certificate, the Kogi State Governor-elect Usman Ahmed Ododo assured that he would strive for a just and egalitarian Kogi State, pointing out that he would work for a more united Kogi State.
The Governor-Elect expressed appreciation to the people of the state for the overwhelming support he enjoyed at the polls, describing it as a consolidation of the strength and unity of the state.
It would be recalled that the All-Progressives Congress had been adjudged to have scored majority votes in last weekend’s Governorship election, thereby becoming the next governor of the state.
