“Our administration in Kogi has adopted the principle of servant leadership, and this has resonated deeply with our people.
“In just 14 months, we’ve made significant strides, from stabilising our security architecture, to boosting agricultural productivity, to driving infrastructural development and expanding access to social services across the state.
“These modest but impactful achievements have strengthened the credibility of our party and deepened public trust in our government.”
He added, “Our inclusive governance model, which prioritises youth and women participation in leadership, is yielding great dividends. We’ve created a new generation of decision-makers, infused fresh ideas into governance, and given hope to a large number of our population.
“This approach has further endeared the APC to the people of Kogi State and positioned us strongly for an even better performance in the 2027 general elections.
“I must extend my heartfelt appreciation to the National Chairman of our great party, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, and members of the National Working Committee. Your dedication, hard work, and strategic leadership have solidified the APC as the party of choice among Nigerians across all divides.
“We’re also grateful to our National Leader and President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for his bold and transformative policies that are already reshaping our national economy and laying the foundation for long-term prosperity. Mr. President’s unwavering support to Kogi State is not taken for granted, and I assure him of our unflinching loyalty and massive support in 2027 and beyond.”
