The Kogi State Government has said that the opposition in the state is jittery due to Governor Usman Ododo’s impressive performance and growing popularity.
The Commissioner for Information and Communications, Hon. Kingsley Femi Fanwo, stated this during the Monthly Ododo Media Awards held at the Ministry.
Fanwo noted that the Governor’s leadership style and direct connection with the people have exposed the falsehood of opposition elements, who are unsettled by the Governor’s growing popularity and performance record.
He emphasized that the people of Kogi are happy with their Governor because they can see the tangible achievements of his administration.
“Whenever Governor Ododo steps out to interact with the people, the opposition knows they’ve lost the battle. The people of Kogi are happy with their Governor because they can see the tangible achievements of his administration. These are not audio projects, they’re real and already impacting lives,” Fanwo said.
The Commissioner commended the Governor for remaining focused on governance and development rather than politics.
“His Excellency has said it clearly, his projects are his noise. We won’t be distracted. This is not the time for politics; it’s the time for delivery. The people deserve the development they’re witnessing across the state,” he added.
He highlighted the numerous ongoing projects across the state as proof of the administration’s commitment to service.
Fanwo also announced that the Ministry will provide Blood Pressure (BP) and Blood Sugar Testing Kits to Information Officers as part of a new wellness initiative designed to promote a healthy and productive workforce.
“As we go about our duty of projecting the achievements of the Ododo Administration, we must also take our health seriously. A healthy Information Officer is a more efficient one,” he said.
He commended the Information Officers for their dedication, professionalism, and loyalty to the vision of the Governor, stressing that Kogi is firmly on the path of progress under Ododo.
“We have a Governor who is committed to good governance and genuinely serving the people. His focus on infrastructure, education, healthcare, and rural development is laying a solid foundation for a prosperous Kogi,” he said.
The event also featured the presentation of awards to outstanding Information Officers for their dedication to duty and effective communication of government policies and programs.
In his remarks, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Mr. Celestine Idoko, applauded the Commissioner for his continuous efforts to motivate staff, describing the Ododo Media Awards as a creative platform that encourages productivity and excellence in public communication.
