Some indigenes of Kogi State from Okun land have passed a vote of confidence in Governor Ahmad Ododo, former Governor Yahaya Bello and the leadership of All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
The people, who said they represent the true voice of partisan and non-partisan sons and daughters of Okun, condemned comments credited to one Bashorun Adeyemi against the Bello and his successor, describing him as a mouthpiece of some Abuja-based politicians and not authorised to speak on behalf of Okun people.
Addressing a press conference in Lokoja, yesterday, the Coordinator, Okun United for Justice, Eniola Olayemi, noted that the Okun nation was not known for ethnic bigotry and was fully committed to the success of the present administration in Kogi.
Olayemi asserted that Bello was the most successful governor in the history of Kogi, adding that the November 11 governorship election in the state was credible.
He called on Ododo and APC leadership to disregard the position of Adeyemi and his “Abuja paymasters”, as “Okun nation spoke unmistakably in the November poll and will speak even louder in 2027.”
