The Kogi State House of Assembly member representing Yagba West State Constituency, Honourable Ibikunle Idowu has advanced reasons for mobilising his constituents’ support for the governorship candidate of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) Usman Ododo despite being a member of the opposition party the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Idowu recalled that during the last presidential election, the ADC governorship candidate, Elder Leke Abejide mobilised a high level of support for President Bola Tinubu, even though the ADC had its own presidential candidate.
According to him, supporting the candidate of Ododo which is the preferred choice of Governor Yahaya Bello and the ruling APC is not out of place.
The politician said he has been a long-time political associate of Bello, stressing that, the governor has been magnanimous to him in his quest for political office even before moving to the ADC to seek for the state house of Assembly position under ADC.
His words “Irrespective of the difference in our political parties, my relationship with Governor Yahaya Bello has remained intact and cordial. Governor Yahaya Bello is my boss and I will remain loyal to him.
“I am not elected into office to fight the government rather I am to use my office to attract development to my Constituency through a cordial relationship with the Executive and Judiciary.”
Idowu stated that Bello has shown him a high level of kindness and the coming governorship election is an avenue for him to reciprocate his love and support for the governor and his candidate.
The assembly member who reiterated that the people of Yagba land especially Yagba West owes Governor Yahaya Bello and the APC the duty to massively support and vote for Ododo, noted that the entire Okun nation has benefited immensely from the administration of Bello.
He averred that for the people of Yagba to continue to enjoy the attending benefits of the mutual relationship with the governor there is every need to accord maximum support for Ododo to be the next governor of Kogi State.
He emphasised that he is not a stooge to anybody but rather a politician with pedigree and reputation.
