Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo of Kogi State has welcomed the judgment of the Court of Appeal which upheld his return as the duly elected Governor of the State.

Reacting to the Court of Appeal judgment of Thursday, July 11, 2024, Ododo expressed appreciation to the judiciary for the swift and expeditious manner with which it dealt with the appeal.

By the judgment, the governor said the
court has again demonstrated that the mandate freely given to him by the people of the state cannot be upturned by persons who may not agree with the will of God and the majority of the people of Kogi state.

” I give thanks to God for seeing us through this phase of the court processes and I thank the people of Kogi state for uniting behind our administration and the steps we are taking to serve our people with the best of our ability.

“The judgement of the Appeal Court reaffirms the fact that the November 11, 2023 Governorship election in Kogi State was free, fair, peaceful, and credible.

“By the grace of God, our administration has become the symbol of peace and unity in our state and we are committed to serving our people on the basis of equity and inclusion.

“I thank the judiciary for staying true to its independence with this judgement of the Appeal Court that has reaffirmed the earlier decision of the Tribunal which is a clear testament that the mandate freely given to us by the people of Kogi State was done in the best interest of our state,” he said.

Ododo also thanked the people of Kogi State for their support and love for his administration.

He called on opposition politicians in the state to join him in advancing the development of the state.

The governor stressed that the judgement should now lay to rest the argument over the result of the 2023 governorship election and unite the people for the development of the state irrespective of political differences.

The Governor also expressed appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for ensuring that the judiciary remains truly independent and transparent as the last hope of the common man in the country.

The Appeal Court had on Thursday upheld the May 27 , 2024 decision of the Kogi State governorship election petition tribunal which upheld the election of Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the duly elected Governor of Kogi State.

By the results declared by INEC, Ododo scored 446,237 votes which represents the majority of lawful votes cast in the November 11, 2023 Governorship election in the state.

The Appeal Court in a unanimous decision dismissed all grounds of appeals filed by candidates of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), the Action Alliance (AA) and the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) for being incompetent and for lacking in merit.
