Kogi state government has berated reports suggesting that Governor Usman Ododo might be considering dumping the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a statement issued by Kingsley Femi Fanwo, Commissioner for Information and Communications, the state government said promoters of the falsehood are people who are still ruing their woeful failure at the law courts and probably trying to find a back door into the All Progressives Congress, hence their resort to the only tools at their disposal which are falsehood, propaganda, misinformation and disinformation.
Fanwo clarified that the picture being circulated was taken at the wedding ceremony of the daughter of the Taraba State Governor, Agbu Kefas, which was attended by dignitaries across the country, including Vice President Kashim Shettima as well as Governors across party lines.
“His Excellency Alh. Ahmed Usman Ododo was at the occasion to honor the daughter of a colleague like other Governors did.
“Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo just yesterday, triumphed at the Supreme Court with the support of his party. It is unintelligent to insinuate that the Governor is abandoning the party that supported him all through his electioneering and the litigations. Their craft of lies are falling like a pack of cards.
“We want to assure the good people of Kogi State that their Governor remains a solid member of the All Progressives Congress and will support the party’s success, not only in Kogi State, but nationally.
“We urge the people to rest assured that Kogi remains APC and will continue to support the laudable policies and progress being recorded by the President of our dear nation, His Excellency Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR. Indeed, Governors are united across party lines to support the efforts of Mr President at uniting our nation,” he said.
