He highlighted his administration’s successful implementation of a 40 per cent affirmative action for women in elective positions. The APC has reserved all vice-chairmanship positions and at least four councillorship seats in each of the 21 local government areas for women.
The governor also noted that the appointment of Ward Special Assistants and Local Government Special Assistants has effectively returned governance to the grassroots.
Ododo called on the people of Kogi State to embrace peace and remain united behind the APC-led government, assuring that the party would continue to use the state’s resources to alleviate poverty and build on the government’s achievements across various sectors.
According to Ododo: “Our state is blessed with abundant mineral resources and human capital to lift us out of poverty. We must work hard to consolidate the solid foundation laid by my predecessor and the immediate past administration in various sectors by supporting the APC.
“Come October 19, 2024, I urge you to come out and vote en masse for all APC chairmanship candidates across the 21 local government areas, and for our councillorship candidates in the 239 electoral wards, so that we can continue building on our achievements as a state under the APC.”
