The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi State, Usman Ododo, has said he is committed to building on the unparalleled developmental strides of the incumbent Governor Yahaya Bello, which were achieved through inclusive governance if elected in the forthcoming polls in November.
He said with his wealth of experience in the private and public financial sectors, as well as the opportunity of learning from Bello whom he described as a great leader, he was well equipped to steer the ship of the confluence state in the desired direction.
The APC candidate who spoke to State House correspondents after he was presented to President Muhammadu Buhari by Governor Bello yesterday, said he was confident of the APC’s victory in the election.
Ododo emerged the Kogi APC governorship candidate through a direct primary election on April 14 and was ratified through a special congress of the party on April 15.
Governor Bello expressed delight in the capacity of the APC candidate to deliver even more wins for the party in the state and assured Kogi people of continuity in the infrastructure renewal master-plan which his administration has embarked upon for more than seven years.
He reiterated that the APC in Kogi State was one united family, noting that the party was very well positioned to win the next governorship election by a landslide.
President Buhari gave his unalloyed blessings to the APC candidate, while advising the party in Kogi State to embark on an issue-based election campaign to ensure that the party retains the state in the coming election.
