Kingsley Fanwo, commissioner for Information and Communications, Kogi State, has commended the judgment of the Appeal Court, affirming the victory of Usman Ododo as the democratically elected governor of Kogi State, saying that the judgment represents “echoes of the indisputable victory of the governor at the poll.”
Speaking to journalists shortly after the judgment, Thursday, the Kogi State government spokesman said that the governor remains unwavering in his faith in the judiciary.
“Today’s judgment represents echoes of our victory on November 11, 2023. We campaigned round the state and worked hard to reassure the people that our party is the most reliable to take the state forward.

“November 11 will continue to be remembered in Kogi State as the day that Kogites across the senatorial districts united to speak with one voice, birthing a resounding victory for the incumbent governor.
“Today’s verdict has offered another great opportunity for those who lost at the poll and in the courts to join the governor in moving the state forward,” he said.
Fanwo said that the court case did not in any way slow governance down, as the governor has continued to “roll up his sleeves and deliver democracy dividends to the great people of the state.
“The jubilation that greeted the verdict affirming the victory of the chief servant of Kogi State is a demonstration of the triumph of the people’s will”.
Fanwo urged the people of the state to continue to support the governor in order to make the state the confluence of excellence.
