Kogi State Government workers and stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress have endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s second-term bid and Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo’s re-election project.

Speaking at a press conference in Lokoja, Hon. Bode Adeyemi, Chairman of the Combined State Government Appointees Forum, said the endorsement was necessary given the exceptional performance of the President in the last two years.

According to Adeyemi, “The current presidency has drawn Nigeria out of the negative economic, security, infrastructure, education, and healthcare rating and stabilised the system into one that is forward-looking and promising.”

He added that the policy direction of the government has brought Nigeria back from the woods and put it on the path of unstoppable progress towards shared prosperity for all Nigerians.

The Kogi officials praised Tinubu for his achievements, including the removal of subsidies on petroleum products, allocation of huge resources to sub-national governments, and various infrastructure development projects.

They also commended Governor Ododo’s humane and egalitarian leadership, which has turned around the well-being of the people and made Kogi one of the fastest-growing states.

The appointees vowed to use their numbers, strategic positions, and political weight to “deliver 239,000 votes to President Tinubu and all the 2027 candidates of the party in the state”.

They announced the creation of the “Kogi Continuity Mandate” as the political organisation under which they will mobilise electorates for the actualisation of the Tinubu-Ododo continuity mandate.

Governor Ododo was adopted as the Grand Patron of the new organisation, while the Deputy Governor, Joel Salifu, was named Chairman of the Board of Trustees.

The group also constituted various committees, including a political committee, pet projects committee, and media committee, to drive their mobilisation efforts.

The combined forum of appointees, comprising the Forum of Commissioners, Forum of Special Advisers, Forum of Senior Special Assistants, Forum of Local Government Special Assistants, and Forum of Ward Special Assistants, made a formal endorsement and declaration of support for President Tinubu and Governor Ododo’s continuity in office.

They pledged to “mobilise 239,000 traceable votes for the party in 2027”.
