“He built a system where sons and daughters of anybody could aspire for positions of influence; where streets once forgotten became pathways to leadership; I am here today as the Chief Servant of Kogi State and a living testament to that philosophy,” he said.

According to him, Bello’s administration shattered traditional political glass ceilings by offering opportunities to youth and women across wards and local government areas, regardless of status or background.

He restated that the former Kogi State Governor built men and women of value not just with titles, but with purpose and raised individuals from different backgrounds to the corridors of public service and turned loyal followers into shining lights.

Governor Ododo emphasized that Bello’s philosophy of governance was to serve as a bridge for ordinary people to access opportunities, and he ensured that those who served in his administration remained accessible to the people in their new roles at both state and federal levels.

He acknowledged that Bello’s strides in civil service reform, education, healthcare, infrastructure, and security laid a foundation that continues to guide the present administration to succeed in the state.

“With over 30% of the state’s annual budget invested in education, two new universities established within four years, safer communities and many lives transformed, the results are there and we are consolidating on them.

“His commitment to promoting women in leadership with 35% affirmative action became a signature of inclusive governance, setting the standard for what we are now doing in Kogi State,” he stated.

Governor Ododo said his emergence as a successor to the former Governor is a testament to Bello’s believe in grooming new generations of leaders

He stressed that his legacy is manifest in the performance of the present administration, having built a system that is sustainable and worthy of emulation.

Ododo then prayed for God’s continued guidance for the former governor in all his future endeavours as he celebrates the momentous anniversary of his 50th birthday. (vitalnewsngr.com)
