Navy Commander Jerry Omodara (rtd) has called for concerted efforts and support for the Kogi state government in tackling security issue.
Speaking at the 2024 Ogidi Day festival on Saturday, Omodara urged Okun sons and daughters to unite for more prosperity, peace and development of the land.
Omodara, the Kogi State Security Adviser, assured that the Governor Usman Ododo-led administration remains committed to the safety of lives and property in the state.
He said security is the business of everyone and requires collective effort, reiterating that Governor Ododo is taking proactive steps to nip insecurity in the bud across the state.
He noted that criminals don’t operate based on religion, political party and ethnic sentiments, hence the need to come together and support security agencies by providing necessary information.
He thanked traditional tulers for their support to the fight against insecurity, urging them to sustain the tempo.
The Security Adviser particularly praised the Ologidi of Ogidi HRM. Oba Rabiu Oladimeji Sule for his moral and spiritual support to the Ododo led administration, describing him as a dependable monarch.
Responding, the Ologidi applauded the diligence, hard work and professionalism displayed by Commander Jerry Omodara in the discharge of his duties, saying he will continue to support him with prayers.
