Kogi State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Hon. Kingsley Fanwo, has said that Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo of Kogi State is committed to supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in his efforts to make the nation better. Mr Fanwo who said this while fielding questions from newsmen at the Ilorin International Airport, Friday said the relationship between the President and Governor Ododo remains that of a “father and son” and that the Governor is an “inveterate believer in the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr President”.
He insisted that Governor Ododo would always rally the people of Kogi State behind the President. While reacting to the incidents at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Headquarters and the Kogi State Government Lodge on Wednesday, Fanwo said the Governor’s action was borne out of patriotism on one hand and the need not to overheat the security situation on the other. “The Governor wants to make it clear that his decision to go with the former Governor Yahaya Bello to the EFCC was borne out of his patriotic zeal to ensure that law enforcement agencies are respected and supported to do their job, especially as the former Governor also expressed his readiness to honour the invitation of the Anti Graft Agency as a leader who has respect for constituted institutions.
“He also said his decision to leave the Kogi State Government Lodge when EFCC officials started shooting sporadically there was to avert a confrontation between them .
