He encouraged them to convene meetings with grassroots constituents and demonstrate respect for party leaders.
He emphasized that the local government leaders should uphold the oath of secrecy taken during their inauguration to uphold peace and harmony within the council. As the 2027 elections approach, he expressed optimism that the party in the region would achieve unprecedented success, indicating that the meeting would be held periodically to evaluate the leaders’ progress.
He commended the governor for appointing key government officials from the region, highlighting the governor’s commitment to the people of Kogi East despite their underperformance in the previous election.
The Deputy Governor encouraged the female vice chairpersons and council leaders to intensify their efforts in representing the people proportionally, revealing the governor’s dedication to increasing female participation in governance.
However, Deputy Governor Joel Salifu issued a stern warning against establishing any alternative structure outside of the existing framework led by Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo, stating that the governor is the leader of the state.
Earlier, the Kogi East Zonal Chairman of the APC, Hon. Mikhail Suleiman Mohammed, urged the elected council leaders to welcome and accommodate new or former members who wish to rejoin the All Progressives Congress. He stressed the necessity of securing victory in the upcoming election in Kogi East and advised against Diaspora politicians forming a separate party, advocating instead for inclusivity within the party. He encouraged them to carry along individuals who aspired to occupy similar positions in the last council poll
