Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, has assured members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) of a transparent and credible process in the party’s consensus governorship primary election taking place in Ekiti State.

Governor Ododo, in a statement issued through his Special Adviser on Media, Hon. Ismaila Isah, pledged fairness to all stakeholders, emphasizing that the exercise will reflect unity, peace, and internal democracy within the APC.
He noted that his primary commitment is to oversee a process that will be acceptable to all stakeholders and members of the party, stressing that the committee under his leadership will uphold the integrity and democratic values that define the APC.

Ododo, who previously chaired the APC Governorship Primary Election Committee in Ondo State in April 2024, expressed confidence that the Ekiti exercise will be peaceful, transparent, and conducted strictly in line with the party’s internal democratic procedures.
