Kogi State Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo has denied rumors that he is planning to defect from the All Progressives Congress (APC). In a statement issued by Kogi State’s Commissioner for Information and Communications, Kingsley Fanwo, Governor Ododo dismissed the claims as false and motivated by individuals seeking to undermine his reputation. The speculation arose after a photograph of Ododo attending a wedding event alongside political figures from various parties sparked conjecture about his political allegiance.
The statement clarified that Ododo’s presence at the event was simply a gesture of goodwill and not an indication of any intention to switch parties. It also highlighted the Governor’s continued support for the APC, emphasizing his commitment to the party’s goals both locally and nationally. The government urged the media to focus on responsible journalism and factual reporting to maintain public trust and credibility.
