Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo.
,,,says “the storm is over”, seeks cooperation of co-contestants for Ododo.
By Dada Ahmed in Lokoja.
The Independent Campaign Council , ICC, of the Ododo/Joel Campaign Organisation has congratulated Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, the governor-elect of Kogi state as well as his deputy , Mr. Joel Oyibo for a well deserved electoral victory.
The council recalls that Ododo of the All Progressives Congress, APC, was declared winner of the November, 11, 2023 governorship election by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC,having pulled 446, 237 votes to win the election.
ICC, in a statement signed by Jacob Edi, its Director of Media, and made available a copy to The Reporters on Monday in Lokoja, described Ododo’s victory as authoritative, going by the number of votes he scored in the keenly contested elections to beat his opponents.
ICC, therefore, called on Ododo’s co-contestants to join hands with the governor-elect to build the state for more progress and development, insisting that the interest of the state supersedes any sectional or individual interest.
ICC Commended Governor Yahaya Bello whose untiring efforts brought about a peaceful election as against the prediction of political opponents.
“Equally worthy of commendation are the good people of Kogi state who conducted themselves to ensure a violence-free election,” it said.
ICC urged governor-elect to take urgent steps to unite the state, harness the abundant human and material resources in the state and roll out his plans to develop the state to consolidate on the gains of Governor Bello.
