President Muhammadu Buhari, on Friday, released his blessings on the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Kogi State, Usman Ododo, in the November election.
He also advised the party in the state to embark on issue-based election campaign so as to ensure the party retains the state in the coming elections.
Ododo, while briefing State House Correspondents after he was presented to the President by Governor Yahaya Bello, expressed confidence that he would win.
He said if elected in the forthcoming polls, he would commit to building on the unparalleled development strides of the governor, which were achieved through inclusive governance.
Ododo said, with his wealth of experience in the private and public financial sectors, as well as the opportunity of learning from Bello, whom he described as a great leader to Kogites, he was well equipped to steer the ship of the confluence state in the desired direction.
Recall, Ododo emerged the Kogi APC governorship candidate through a direct primary election on April 14 and was ratified through a special Congress of the party on April 15.
Governor Bello expressed delight in the capacity of the APC candidate to deliver even more wins for the party in the state and assured kogi residents of continuity in the infrastructure renewal master-plan, which his administration had embarked upon for more than seven years.
He reiterated that the APC in Kogi State was one united family, noting that the party was very well positioned to emphatically win the next governorship election.
