Kogi 2023: Okun Drum Support For APC Candidate

A political group in  Kogi West, known as the  Okun United, on Saturday declared its  support for the All Progressives Congress(APC) Governorship Candidate in the state, Alhaji Ododo Usman.

The declaration was made at the official unveiling of Okun United for Ododo-Joel Project 2023, in Kabba Local Government Area in  the state.

Gov. Yahaya Bello used the occassion to commend the  Okun extraction of APC for coming together with  one voice to drum support for the party’s  candidate, saying that   victory was for the party .

Bello, who was represented by the APC State Chairman, Alhaji Abdullahi Bello, appreciated the convener of the event, noting that Bello had run a system of administration which performed well.

“Today, the Okun extraction of the APC has decided to unite for Ododo to speak with one voice. I have no doubt in my mind about the victory, the election is as good as over, seeing the calibre of people, I am proud and happy,” he said.

“I want to appreciate the convener and other leaders in ensuring that this is happening in Kabba,” he added.

The governor,  however, tasked the party leaders to create a conducive platform for the defectors from PDP, because they would  add value to the  electoral chances of the ruling party.

“Nobody owns APC, we must be up and doing, we must see results, we must work for our  candidate during this election and protect our  votes.” he added.

The Grand Patron of the  Okun United, Mr David Jimoh in his opening remarks,  said  the project was to support Ododo/Joel mandate and to deliver their  mandate to the governorship candidate by November.

“I am happy we are here today as a people united to say that, on Ododo mandate we shall stand. We have a mandate and our mandate is to deliver come November, it is a done deal.

“ I want to assure you that we will leave no stone unturned to deliver the mandate because he is our best belt.”

Coordinator of the project, who was  Adviser on  Security  to the Governor, Duro Omodara, said the project was not just a group but a solid platform, conceived to make valuable contributions towards  the forthcoming election.

“Okunland desires collective umbrella that will direct and unite us for common goals and objectives, this platform is expected to go beyond the upcoming elections.

“It is expected to remain a solid platform to support the government articulate developmental programmes for our people.”

“ We therefore call on all, not to look at the book cover, but the rich content that we intend to unfold that would lead us to greater heights,” he said.
