In a landmark decision that promises to significantly uplift the standard of living for workers in Kogi State, Governor Alhaji Usman Ododo has officially assented to a new minimum wage of 72,500 Naira. This initiative, accompanied by the removal of a one-year tax burden for Kogi workers, marks a pivotal moment for the state's labor force and economic landscape.

Governor Ododo's approval of the new minimum wage is not merely a financial adjustment; it represents a commitment to enhancing the quality of life for Kogi residents. By increasing the minimum wage, the Governor aims to alleviate poverty, reduce economic disparities, and foster a more prosperous environment for all citizens. This bold move is expected to stimulate local spending, boost consumer confidence, and ultimately lead to improved economic activity within the state.

Furthermore, the removal of the tax burden serves as an incentive for both workers and businesses, making Kogi State an attractive destination for potential investors.

KOGI 2023: "Ododo/Oyibo's Victory is Sacrosanct" Progressive Youths Assure Electorates

Ahead of the November's poll, the flag bearer of the All Progressive Congress, Alhaji Usman Ododo's victory had reportedly been assured by the party's stakeholders, particularly the progressive-minded youths of the State. The youths have continually assured the people through physical and media engagements; noting that Ododo's victory is sacrosanct.

The people have constantly revealed their confidence not only in Usman Ododo but also his running mate, Elder Joel Oyibo, a well-known classroom teacher. Truthfully, nothing brings delight to the heart of people other than seeing power move to people with such a humble and sound academic background.

According to the recent geo-political educational-performance review, Kogi State has been confirmed 'most educated State in the North Central' under the leadership of Governor Yahaya Bello. However, in the quest to uphold and rise above this feat, Ododo/Oyibo has been confirmed a perfect match.

The people yearn for nothing but a State where right pegs are put in the right holes, a State that frown at insecurity, a State that fosters and prioritizes diversity inclusion, and of course, attract global investors effortlessly. Ododo/Oyibo's candidacy has been "Tested, Trusted and Approved" the youths concluded.

Vote Ododo/Oyibo for Governor.

KOGI 2023: "Like Shetima, Like Yahaya Bello"

It takes only a man who honestly desire the best for his State to make an effort in begetting a leadership mantle to the best brain without being self-centered, envious or otherwise.

Recall that the 'golden boy' of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Kashim Shetima, while serving as a Governor, saw a great potential in Prof. Babagana Zulum when nobody else does except just a few. He believed in his judgement, honesty and dedication towards the development of the State. Today, Borno is gradually wearing an aesthetic face worth commending. Not only, the inhabitants are enjoying the real dividends of democracy. "Go and verify"

This excellent scenario is about to replicate itself in Kogi State and must be allowed at all cost. As a 'one time auditor' in the private industry I know the mental and physical agility required to effectively and efficiently deliver in that capacity. Alhaji Usman Ododo having proved himself in the last few years, automatically won the race even before getting to the field.

A man who has a good audit record fully satisfied by the world bank has no doubt of judiciously putting the State resources to the best use when voted to power.

Attention kogites! this is not a time for emotional politic neither tribe. It's a time to collectively bring in a pace setter. Inarguably, the best offer a leader can ever give his people is the gift of a prudent successor. Let all men and women of good conscience rise above petty sentiment and ensure the election comes November 11th is successfully and peacefully delivered for Usman Ododo and Joel Oyibo.

If by mistake this opportunity is missed, the people of Kogi State will explain for the next 4 years with no evidence. God forbid. However, prayer alone isn't enough, hence, I enjoin all to join this movement so fresh evidence can be build upon the existing evidence. It is not just about Ododo and Oyibo, it's about Kogi State.

The good people of the state particularly the youths have revealed that their interest for Ododo's candidacy as the most competent candidate lies not on his choice of party but his leadership acumen believed to pilot Kogi State to the desired and productive level.

Like the flowing 'sea of hope' nature has presented the combination of Ododo/Joel as a fitted master planners needed at the moment to prudently set the usual pace for the State to continually thrill in human and capital development. What else could cause the people to frown at a pleasant opportunity other than energize to canvass actively for the betterment of the promising State? "No one orders for a 'better' in the availability of the 'best" the youths declared.

Beyond tribe, religion and social background, the positive-minded and developmental advocates of Kogi State, have gladly embraced Alhaji Usman Ododo's governorship race particularly at this critical time that the people need a brilliant strategist to help to take over the leadership mantle from the 'Confluence White Lion'

The good people of Kogi State know that God will not change their condition unless they dare to do so. This honest mantra is the gingering force of the ever-concious spirits of the people of Kogi State. In one voice, they've whispered and of which, the deaf can hear. The handwriting is bold, even the blind can see.

Let those who clamour for sincere change worry no more, the captain has been found. The only political messiah has agreed to the people's call. If he's entrusted, I honestly believe that you won't sink neither will I.

Vote Ododo/Joel for Governor.
