By Friday Idachaba, Lokoja.
The Court of Appeal Judgement affirming Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo as the democratically elected Governor of Kogi State has been described as “Sound” and “echoes of the indisputable victory” of the Governor at the poll.”
Hon. Kingsley Femi Fanwo Kogi State Commissioner for Information and Communications, who disclosed this while addressing newsmen in Lokoja, applauded the “sound” judgement upholding the Governor’s electoral victory.
Speaking with newsmen shortly after the judgement, the State Government Spokesman said the Governor would remain unwavering in his faith in the Judiciary.
“Today’s judgement represents echoes of our victory on November 11, 2023. We campaigned round the state and worked hard to reassure the people that our party is the most reliable to take the state forward.
“November 11, will continue to be remembered in Kogi State as the day that Kogites across the Senatorial Districts united to speak with one voice, birthing a resounding victory for the incumbent Governor.
“Today’s verdict has offered another great opportunity for those who lost at the poll and in the courts to join the Governor in moving the state forward”, he said.
Fanwo noted that the court case did not in any way slow governance down saying that the Governor has continued to “roll up his sleeves and deliver democracy dividends to the great people of the State.
“The jubilation that greeted the verdict affirming the victory of the Chief Servant of Kogi State is a demonstration of the triumph of the people’s will”.
Fanwo urged the people of the state to continue to support the Governor in order to make the State, the Confluence of Excellence. (Ends)
