The inclusive approach to governance of Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo has been commended, particularly in the appointment of non-indigenes into positions in his administration.

Empire Iweha, president of the Igbo Youth Congress (IYC), gave the commendation while speaking with newsmen in Lokoja, saying the governor has demonstrated fairness by carrying non-indigenes along in governance and extending the dividends of democracy to all residents of the state.

Empire, who doubles as Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Surveillance, described Ododo’s approach as worthy of emulation, adding that the administration has created equal opportunities for residents regardless of ethnic background, adding that about 11 Igbo sons and daughters currently serve in the Kogi State Government. He described the governor as a detribalised leader and a strong ally of the Igbo community, just as he commended the peaceful coexistence among the various ethnic and religious groups in the state and pledged the continued support and loyalty of non-indigenes to the Ododo administration.
