Ahead of the 2027 general election, Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, has said that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains the best person to lead the nation forward.

Speaking in Kabba, Kabba-Bunu Local Government Area of the state on Friday during a stakeholders’ meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the governor noted that the people of Nigeria should not allow opposition parties to deceive them.

According to him, Mr. President is doing well and is determined to do more for the people. “I see no reason some group of people want to come to power at all cost. What are they looking for? They should just step down for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” he said.

He noted that whatever problems the nation is facing today were created before the coming of President Tinubu, and that the President is doing all he can to restore the country’s glory.

The governor commended the President for his rapid response to security challenges in the country, adding that his strategy to tackle the situation is commendable.

He urged the people of Kabba-Bunu to see the President as someone God has sent to reposition the country, adding that, come the 2027 presidential election, President Tinubu is the candidate of the people of Kogi State.

On security, Governor Ododo warned the people to stop supporting bandits, stressing that anyone found wanting or collaborating with bandits will be dealt with.

He further disclosed that such persons’ houses will be brought down, and if they own filling stations, those too will be demolished.

Earlier, the governor inspected primary healthcare centres, erosion control sites, and schools in the community.
