There Can Be Only One Executive Governor of Kogi State at a Time, and Kogi Belongs to All: Congratulations to His Excellency, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo.
Abdul Mohammed Lawal.
The 2023 Kogi State Gubernatorial Election was indeed a memorable event, marked by a spectrum of experiences, both positive and challenging. It featured numerous talking points that highlighted and differentiated politicking centered around a strong ideological framework from those driven by emotional ploys and propaganda as a demarketing tool.
The New Direction Administration of His Excellency, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, made a resounding decision that has resulted in what can be described as a significant leadership stride in the democratic evolution of Kogi State. This pivotal decision was the All Progressives Congress (APC) endorsing the candidacy of His Excellency, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo.
The process was filled with intrigue, and the aftermath has been nothing short of remarkable. The most notable outcome of all the debates and discussions is that politics driven by ethnicity and other divides will no longer thrive in Kogi State as seen in the 2023 Gubernatorial Election. Welcome to an idea-driven political sphere for Kogi State.
It should be recalled that the initial phase of the accompanying litigation process concluded in the Tribunal, which upheld the declaration of His Excellency, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo as the winner of the 2023 Kogi State Gubernatorial Election. The litigants sought redress in the Appeal Court, marking another crucial moment in the political landscape of Kogi State.
It is important to understand that opposition and the contestation of different beliefs are essential for a healthy democracy. Political divides are necessary to shape the evolution of Kogi politics. However, as Kogites, we must not let apathy destroy the very essence of what we are striving for. There can be only one Kogi State at a time, and the state can have only one Executive Governor at a time.
Whether one chooses to align with the political ideologies of His Excellency, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo or not is a personal decision. Nonetheless, it is crucial to recognize that the pursuit of a better Kogi State transcends the individual aspirations of any Kogite. I encourage you to take the time to understand His Excellency, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo and his plans for Kogi State. You might just be the missing piece in his vision for a prosperous Kogi State.
Congratulations to His Excellency, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, on achieving another milestone.
Thank you, His Excellency, Alhaji Yahaya Bello.
