Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Political Matter (Central), Adabara Ibrahim Umar, has congratulated Kogi State Governor , Ododo Ahmed Usman (OAU)  and his deputy, Joel Oyibo Salifu (JOS), over the Court of Appeal judgment affirming their overwhelming victory in the governorship election in the state

The former PDP Chairman Okene local government in a statement by his media office, said the appellate court’s verdict was emphatic and clear endorsement of the sound judgment of the election petitions tribunal

Mr Adabara Ibrahim further stressed that ‘more importantly, the Appeal Court decision stands for the vital proposition that the rule of law serves to protect the sovereign will of the people when expressed in free and honest elections.

‘By this judgement, the appellate court clearly shows that Governor Ododo and Deputy Governor Oyibo were the candidates whom the people of Kogi choose to pilot their affairs for the next four years.

‘The confidence the people repose in the Ododo administration has been well earned and should be wholly respected. I urge Governor Ododo to continue to strive and do his utmost in the service of his state and for the welfare of all the people therein, political friend and foe alike. 

'The opposition SDP and its candidate, Mr.  Muri Ajaka (AGENDA CANDIDATE), have exercised their constitutional rights by challenging the election results via the legal process. They have fought a good fight but that process and fight are now over.

He however encourage governor Ododo to continue to  be a unifier who casts his net widely and also provides an open door to all who sincerely want to contribute to the wellbeing of the state and its proud and decent people
