Rector, Kogi State Polytechnic, Prof. Salisu Ogbo Usman, has congratulated Governor Usman Ododo on his victory at the supreme court.
In a statement issued few minutes after the Supreme court affirmed Ododo’s election as Kogi state governor in Abuja on Friday, the Rector said “needless distractions are over”.
Prof Salisu said the Supreme Court’s pronouncement is an affirmation of the popular choice of the people of Kogi State as freely expressed on 11th November, 2023.
“On behalf of the Management, Academic Board, staff, and students of Kogi State Polytechnic, Lokoja, I heartily and warmly congratulate His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, on the reaffirmation of his mandate by the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
“Our heart warming felicitations also go to His Excellency, the Deputy Governor of Kogi State, Comrade Joel Salifu Oyibo, and all elected and appointed party stalwarts and supporters of the Continuity and Consolidation Administration on the well-deserved victory.
“Your Excellency, the Supreme Court’s pronouncement is not only an affirmation of the popular choice of the people of Kogi State as freely expressed on 11th November, 2023, it is also a final seal on the affirmation of your mandate as unanimously declared by the electoral petition tribunal and the appeal court.
“With the needless distractions over, we are much confident that your impressive performance within the short period as attested to in all the nooks and crannies of the State, will even translate into a more historic and unprecedented transformation of our dear State,” he said.
Prof Salisu prayed that God in His infinite mercy will continue to guide and protect Governor Ododo as he works tirelessly to provide good governance for the state.
