With a heart full of pride and deep emotion, I extend my warmest congratulations to our immediate past State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon. Abdullahi Bello Dollar, on your well-deserved appointment as the Honourable Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs by His Excellency, Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo.
This moment is not just a celebration of an appointment; it is a celebration of a journey defined by sacrifice, resilience, loyalty, and uncommon dedication to the growth of our great party. Your emergence into this critical role stands as a powerful testament to your capacity, your integrity, and your unrelenting commitment to the ideals of the APC in Kogi State.
As State Chairman, you were not just a leader—you were a unifier, a builder, and a pillar of strength. At a time when strong leadership was most needed, you rose above challenges and steered the party with courage and wisdom. Through your strategic foresight and tireless grassroots engagement, you transformed the APC into a formidable political force, rekindling hope among members and restoring confidence across all levels of the party.
Your tenure will forever be remembered as a golden era—an era where party structures were not only strengthened but energized; where unity was not just preached but lived; and where victories at the polls became a reflection of collective belief and purposeful leadership. You brought people together, healed divisions, and ensured that every ward and local government felt the impact of true leadership.
As Women Leader of our great party, I speak with deep gratitude and emotion when I recall your unwavering support for women. You gave us a voice, you created opportunities, and you stood firmly for inclusion at a time when it mattered most. Because of your leadership, many women found the courage to step forward, to lead, and to contribute meaningfully to the progress of our party. You did not just support women—you believed in us, and for that, we remain eternally grateful.
We also wish to sincerely appreciate His Excellency, Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo, for this thoughtful and well-deserved appointment. This decision reflects not only wisdom but a clear commitment to rewarding excellence and loyalty. It gives us great confidence that the affairs of local government and our revered traditional institutions are now in capable and experienced hands.
Hon. Abdullahi Bello Dollar, as you step into this new chapter, we are confident that you will bring the same passion, discipline, and people-oriented leadership that defined your time as State Chairman. We believe you will deepen grassroots governance, strengthen traditional institutions, and deliver impactful results that will resonate across every corner of Kogi State.
On behalf of all APC women across Kogi State, I assure you of our unwavering support, our prayers, and our solidarity. We stand with you, today and always, as you take on this noble responsibility.
May your tenure be impactful, fulfilling, and a source of pride to our party and our dear state.
