Member representing Okene II Constituency, Hon. Zakari Yusuf Eneve on Friday congratulated Gov. Ahmed Usman Ododo on his well deserved victory at the appeal court which affirm the ruling of the tribunal that earlier affirmed him as the duly elected governor of Kogi State in the November 11, 2023 governorship election.
The lawmaker, in a congratulatory message, commended the learned justices of appeal court for toeing the path of honour, upholding truth and ensuring the will of the people is sustained.
He said it is obvious the court cases are mere distraction to the government as opposition parties lack verifiable evidences against the governorship election instead rely heavily on media propaganda, divisive agenda and ethnic empathy.
The lawmaker added that “the people of Okene II Constituency are grateful to God Almighty for this significant occasion, and delighted that the unnecessary litigation has not stopped His Excellency’s dedication to delivering the dividends of democracy to the people noting that the governor has continue to govern the state with unwavering commitment to security and welfare of Kogites”.
While acknowledging the right of opposition parties to seek redress in courts, Hon. Zakari however reiterated his earlier appeal to the opposition candidates to accept defeat and join hands with Gov. Usman Ahmed Ododo in uniting the people and moving the state forward.
