The Lokoja Local Government Chairmanship candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Abdullahi Adamu has once again applauded the Executive Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo for demonstrating yet again that he is indeed God sent.
In a press statement released to newsmen in Lokoja by the Media and Publicity Committee of the Lokoja Local Government Campaign Council, the former Caretaker Chairman expressed his heartfelt appreciation to Governor Ododo for his exemplary leadership and commitment to the welfare of workers in Kogi State.
“The recent approval of the new minimum wage and tax relief is a testament to his administration’s dedication to improving the lives of working-class citizens. This significant increase in the minimum wage demonstrates Governor Ododo’s understanding of the challenges faced by workers and his willingness to take bold steps to address them,” he said.
He further stated that the efforts of the Governor will no doubt promote economic growth, reduce inequality, and enhance the overall well-being of Kogi State residents.
“Having worked very closely and heard from our people at the local government level, I can confirm that the consensus is that Gov. Ododo has already surpassed expectations. He has continued to demonstrate exceptional leadership by prioritizing the needs of workers and taking proactive steps to address their concerns and this is widely acknowledged and appreciated.
“I am particularly excited because the new minimum wage will have a positive impact on the lives of thousands of workers, enabling them to better provide for their families and loved ones. I am also excited because, a few days ago, I met with the Leadership of the L.G.E.A led by the Education Secretary, Heads of Primary and UBE Schools, and the NUT (Lokoja Branch) and one of their prayers was the implementation of minimum wages. Today, the governor has put that to bed.”
Comrade Adamu called on the people to continue to pray fervently for the Governor Ododo and his cabinet members for more dividends of democracy, continuity and consolidation.
