Kogi State Governor Ahmed Ododo and APC National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje have voiced strong support for President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 presidential re-election campaign. Their confidence stems from the impactful reforms and strategic governance Tinubu has demonstrated since taking office.
During a courtesy visit to the APC National leadership in Abuja, Governor Ododo reiterated his loyalty to the party and pledged to promote its manifesto through “purposeful and people-centred governance” in Kogi State. He praised Tinubu’s “bold and transformative policies” that are positively reshaping Nigeria’s economy and creating a foundation for long-term prosperity.
“We are grateful to our National Leader and President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for his bold and transformative policies,” Ododo said. He acknowledged the President’s “unwavering support” for Kogi State and promised “unflinching loyalty and massive support in 2027 and beyond.”
Ododo highlighted the President’s courageous decisions in the petroleum and monetary sectors, calling them “tough but necessary” and in the nation’s best interest. He expressed confidence that Nigerians would rally behind Tinubu for a second term, stating, “His patriotic actions will earn him a second term.”
The Governor outlined his administration’s achievements over 14 months, including improved security, increased agricultural productivity, infrastructure development, and expanded social services. He said these accomplishments have enhanced the APC’s credibility and public trust in Kogi.
He also emphasized the success of an inclusive governance model that prioritizes youth and women’s participation, saying it has “infused fresh ideas into governance” and given hope to many citizens. This approach has strengthened the APC’s position in Kogi ahead of the 2027 elections.
National Chairman Ganduje praised Ododo for maintaining a strong working relationship with his predecessor, Yahaya Bello, a rare feat in Nigerian politics. He commended Ododo’s swift commissioner appointments as a sign of visionary leadership.
Ganduje stressed that the APC governs “with knowledge, not by trial and error,” and promised research to address challenges between successors and predecessors. He described the APC as a “vibrant and dynamic party” growing under Tinubu’s reforms, which have improved citizens’ welfare.
He expressed pride in governors like Ododo who are driving development and assured continued party support for Kogi State.
