APC ANKPA STAKEHOLDERS PASS VOTE OF CONFIDENCE ON GOVERNOR ODODO, PRAISE INFRASTRUCTURE AND WELFARE REFORMS

Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ankpa Local Government Area have passed a resounding vote of confidence on the administration of Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo, citing significant progress in infrastructure, healthcare, education, and worker’s welfare under his leadership.

The resolution was made during a high-level meeting convened to commemorate Nigeria’s Democracy Day held on Thursday 12th June, 2025 at Ankpa Local Government Secretariat.

The gathering brought together party leaders, political appointees, elected officials, traditional rulers, and grassroots mobilizers in a unified show of support.

Professor Salisu Ogbo Usman, who read the official communiqué of the meeting to the press, highlighted Governor Ododo’s achievements in infrastructure, healthcare, education, and fiscal responsibility as reasons for the stakeholders’ firm support.

The communique commended the Governor for the ongoing Olubojo erosion control project and the construction of 10 kilometers of inter-street roads in Ankpa.

It also noted the inclusion of Ankpa Water Board’s reticulation project in the 2025 state budget.

On healthcare, the Governor was praised for constructing six new primary healthcare centres in Ojoku, Amoke, Emekutu, Uborji, Inye, and Ankpa town. The stakeholders further acknowledged the inclusion of major road projects such as Ankpa– Abejukolo, Egbeche– Emenyi– Enale–Ojowu, and Abache– Okenyi– Ejinya roads in the 2025 budget.

In the education sector, the construction of classroom blocks in Akarapiya and Akwu and renovation of schools in Enjema were applauded.

On economic reforms, the communique emphasized the significance of the ₦98 billion debt cleared by Governor Ododo, calling it “a major step toward restoring financial stability.”

The Governor was also commended for consistently paying salaries, pensions and gratuities to both state and local government workers and pensioners.

The stakeholders praised the two-year tax holiday on PAYE (Pay As You Earn) and the recent payment of leave bonuses as signs of a worker-friendly administration.

It also acknowledged Governor Ododo’s inclusive leadership style, citing the appointment of several Ankpa indigenes into key positions.

The forum condemned what it described as “biased and unsubstantiated criticisms” from some political elders that are capable of de-marketing our Local Government and by extension endangering the actors in the Government that are contributing meaningfully to the development of Kogi state and the Ankpa LGA in particular. The forum therefore urges the opposition elements to be fair and objective in their assessments of the government on issue-based and devoid of baseless and derogatory name calling of the present and past leaders in the state.

Following the deliberations, the stakeholders unanimously passed a vote of confidence on His Excellency, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, the Executive Governor of Kogi State.

They also extended similar votes of confidence to Engr. Adamu Yahaya Muhammed, Chairman of Ankpa LGA; Hon. Akus Lawal and Hon. Abbas Linco of the Kogi State House of Assembly; and all elected councillors in Ankpa LGA.

The stakeholders expressed deep appreciation to the former Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello for identifying and supporting a worthy successor in His Excellency, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo.

They reaffirmed their support for the APC and called on citizens to continue backing Governor Ododo for the growth and unity of Kogi State beyond 2027.

In a related development, Prof. Usman also chaired the presentation of the two-year stewardship report and constituency intervention projects of Hon. Akus Lawal, member representing Ankpa I State Constituency in the Kogi State House of Assembly.

He commended Hon. Lawal for his proactive legislative role and dedication to grassroots development.

Notably, Hon. Lawal has sponsored seven(7) bills and motions, executed sixteen (16) projects, awarded twelve (12) various levels of scholarships and palliatives and has undertaken to execute nineteen (19) outlined projects before 31st December, 2025.

Prof. Usman described the lawmaker’s efforts as a “model of responsible representation,” urging other public office holders to emulate his example.

He therefore commended the law maker for being a good ambassador of his constituency and prayed God to continue to guide and guard him to deliver more dividends of democracy in the years ahead.

Present at the event were the APC Zonal Chairman, Hon. Abdul Ogwu Alhassan, the Kogi State Commissioner for Transport, Hon. Atuluku Victor Levi, Kogi State APC Women Leader, Hon. Hauwawu Aduku, Chairman of Ankpa Local Government, Engr. Adamu Yahaya Muhammed; and his Dekina LGA counterpart, Hon. John Urah Ikani. The Ejeh Ankpa was represented by Dr. Mohammed Kabir Ibrahim, Provost, Kogi State College of Education (Technical), Mopa, Onu Ankpa, His Royal Highness Alhaji Abdulmalik Umar and other prominent traditional rulers were in attendance.

Also present were former lawmakers, Rt. Hon. Rabiu Isiaka Alfa and Rt. Hon. Ahmed Mohammed, both former Deputy Speakers of the Kogi State House of Assembly. Former Chairmen of Ankpa Local Government Areas, Hon. Abagwu Ibrahim and Hon. John Aduga and their Olamaboro LGA counterpart, Hon. Adejoh Friday Nicodemus, respectively were in attendance amongst other political appointees, party stalwarts and constituents.
