You’ve earned people’s confidence’ — NICOLAS OJODOMO congratulates GOV ODODO on appeal court victory.
On THURSDAY, 11Th July, 2023 The court of appeal sitting in Abuja, Federal Capital Territory, dismissed an appeal filed by Murtala Ajaka, candidate of the Social Democratic Progress (SDP), challenging Governor Ododo’s victory in the November 11, 2023 governorship election held in Kogi state.
Hon NICOLAS OJODOMO, in a congratulatory message on Thursday, said the judgement delivered by the court of appeal affirms that the rule of law is meant to protect the will of the people in a free and fair electioneering process.
I urged the Governor to continue to work with other candidates in the last Election poll for the development of our state and a betterment of the state.
The Appeal Court decision stood 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,” NICOLAS said.
“Congratulations to the Kogi State Governor, H.E Ahmed Usman Ododo, and his Deputy, Elder Joel Oyibo, for the Court of Appeal judgment affirming their overwhelming victory in the governorship election in the state.
“By this judgement, the appellate court clearly shows that Governor Ododo and Deputy Governor Oyibo were the candidates who the people of Kogi state chose to pilot their affairs for the next four years and even beyond.
The confidence the people repose in the Ododo Administration has been well earned and should be wholly respected.
“It is time to now place partisan politics on the shelf for the moment so that these former political contestants can join hands as much as possible for the good and development of Kogi State.
“Once again, I rejoice with Governor Ododo, Deputy Governor Joel Oyibo, our teeming APC members in Kogi state and, indeed, the good people of Kogi state over this court victory.
Once again, Congratulations People’s Governor.
NICOLAS OJODOMO
