The Special Adviser to the Kogi State Governor on Youth and Student Matters, Oladele John Nihi, has said Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo is focused on governance and delivering campaign promises rather than the 2027 governorship race.
Nihi stated this while reacting to growing political speculation over the next governorship election in the state.
He said every qualified citizen has the constitutional right to contest for the office of governor, adding that discussions about the 2027 election are premature.
“Anybody who is qualified and wants to run for Governor of Kogi State is welcome. Democracy guarantees every eligible citizen the right to aspire to public office. When we get to that bridge, we will cross it,” he said.
According to him, the Ododo administration is concentrating on providing good governance and improving the lives of residents instead of engaging in early political campaigns.
