Ododo remains APC member despite defection rumours, Kogi declares

The report claimed that Ododo, who secured a Supreme Court victory on Friday, dismissing the appeal of the Social Democratic Party candidate, Muritala Ajaka, contesting Ododo’s victory in the 2023 Kogi State governorship election, was considering defecting to the PDP.

A statement by the state Commissioner for Information and Communications, Kingsley Fanwo, on Saturday, obtained by our correspondent, described the report as “a reckless and unprofessional media report.”

The statement clearly stated that the report was a product of mischief makers and promoters of falsehood who were still licking their wounds after their loss at the Supreme Court on Friday.

The statement read: “The attention of the Kogi State Government has been drawn to a reckless and unprofessional media report that the Governor of the State was considering dumping the All Progressives Congress. We would have ignored the blatant falsehood, but we owe the public the duty of providing correct and adequate information.

“The promoters of the falsehood are people who are still ruing their woeful failure at the law courts and are probably trying to find a back door into the All Progressives Congress, hence their resort to the only tools at their disposal, which are falsehood, propaganda, misinformation, and disinformation.
