Kogi State Governor, Ahmed Usman Ododo has applauded the decision of the Supreme Court that affirmed his victory as the duly elected Governor of Kogi State.
In his reaction to the judgment of the Court delivered on Friday, Ododo praised the judiciary for rising to the occasion and for asserting its position as the last hope of the common man despite several threats and blackmail by those who were bent on upturning the course of justice and the will of the majority of the people of Kogi State.
Ododo’s reaction was contained in a statement issued on Saturday in Abuja by Malam Ismaila Isah, Special Adviser on Media to the governor.
While commending President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the support he has enjoyed, the Kogi State Governor called on the leadership of opposition parties in the state to join hands with his administration to bring about more dividends of democracy to the people of the state.
Governor Ododo called on his supporters and members of the All Progressives Congress in the state to remain magnanimous as they celebrate the victory of the party following the Court judgement.
The Governor who described his victory as an act of God noted that the November 11, 2023 Governorship election was a contest by people from the same family to hold power on behalf of the people of the state.
