Commander Jerry Omodara (rtd), Kogi State Security Adviser, has called on the people of Okun to adopt a strategy to secure the governorship seat in 2031. He spoke at the Okun Development Association (ODA) Stakeholders Summit in Abuja.
Omodara emphasized the need for Kogi West Senatorial District, dominated by Okun people, to partner with the central senatorial district.
He cited the Eastern Senatorial District’s long hold on the governorship seat until former Governor Yahaya Bello took office by divine intervention.
