Gov Ododo Asked To Secure FG’s Appointments For Party Faithful In Kogi

Kogi State governor Alhaji Ahmed Ododo has been called upon to wake up to his responsibility and secure opportunities for people who worked for the party by ensuring they get appointments at the national level across the three senatorial districts of Kogi State.

A public affairs analyst in Kogi State, Ibrahim Salami, disclosed this on Sunday in a piece titled “Why is Governor Ododo sleeping on federal appointment slots meant for Kogi State?”

Salami noted that the people of Kogi State freely voted for Governor Ododo on November 11, 2023, to provide leadership for the state in all ramifications, adding that he should not have allowed those who were nowhere to be found during the last electioneering period to ruin his chances of re-election.

According to him “Mr. President is doing many federal appointments presently and is like the governor is not aware of those appointments so far. Appointments are presently going on at the North-Central Development Commission; Mr. President will soon commence the appointment of Ambassadors. Governor Ododo must wake up and do something about it.

“He needs to meet the President and discuss with him the importance of the state in the North- Central or else Kogi will be left out of the scheme.

“What is happening? Like I am confused because I don’t understand how appointments will be made at the national level and the Governor of the State will not have an input despite the general beliefs that the Governor is always the leader of the party at the state level.

“It has become obvious to me that I should draw the attention of His Excellency, Alhaji Ododo Ahmed Usman, the Executive Governor of Kogi State, on why he has remained silent on the federal appointment slots meant for the state.

“Less he forgot that the people of Kogi State freely voted for him on the 11th November, 2023 to provide leadership for the state in all ramifications, how come he allowed some self-centered individuals in Abuja to take over his primary assignments to the point that he doesn’t know how people from his state are appointed without his contributions.”
