The Director General, Ododo/Oyibo Campaign Council for Kabba/Bunu local government area, Otunba Niyi Olayemi, has applauded Governor Yahaya Bello for prioritizing the welfare of people at the grassroot.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Otunba Olayemi said the appointment of credible people to manage the affairs of local government councils in the state.
He congratulated the newly appointed twenty-one local government caretaker chairmen, urging them to use their offices to engender peace and development in their respective domains.
The APC chieftain hailed Governor for carrying all party stakeholders along in the selection of local government helmsmen, stressing that this will further strengthen the party at the grassroots.
He called on those who showed interest but didn’t make the list to join hands with the new helmsmen to move the party forward.
“Everybody cannot be chairman of a local government at the same time. We must accept our elders’ sense of judgment and put our people’s interest first at all times.
“Governor Yahaya Bello is a fair and democratic leader as exemplified in the manner the caretaker chairmen emerged. We are lucky to have him as our leader in Kogi state. He has also assured that no one will be left behind in the scheme of things.
“I call on the people to rally round these caretaker chairmen as they take steps to build on the enduring legacies of Governor Yahaya Bello,” he said.
Otunba Olayemi also called on the people of Kogi state to replicate same love they have for Governor Bello to the incoming administration of Alhaji Usman Ododo.
