Ahmed Ododo Visits Kwara For The 1st Time As Kogi Gov, Calls Gov AbdulRazaq  ‘Pan-Nigerian’

Kogi state governor, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo on Wednesday visited his Kwara state counterpart and Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq who he  has commended for his Pan-African approach to issues of national importance and his legacy projects in the State of Harmony 

 Kogi state was carved  from the old Kwara and Benue states on  August 27, 1991, during the military administration headed by retired General Ibrahim Babangida.

Speaking with newsmen at the  Government House Ilorin, Governor Ododo praised AbdulRazaq for appointing  non-Kwarans to government positions  in his quest to promote national unity. 

‘We were part of Kwara state, and my elder brother here is doing very great. I have met one or two of them who he has appointed to government positions.

 That is one Nigeria. By the special grace of God, I am going to extend my support not only to the people of Kogi state living here in Kwara state but to the entire people of Kwara state because we are one Nigeria.

I want to sincerely appreciate my elder brother, His Excellency, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for the warm reception he has given us today (Wednesday) as his brother and son of the soil. I am here because this is my home too. I have to come and pay homage to my brother to see how well he is doing and learn from the legacies he has laid down in Kwara state’ he said.

A statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by AbdulRazaq’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Rafiu Ajakaye noted that the governor had earlier led his Kogi state counterpart to pay homage to the Emir of Ilorin, His Eminence, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu- Gambari-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
