In recent development, the good people of kogi state witnessed the swearing in of the new administration who took over the mantle of leadership to rule the state for the next four years.
The Forum described the day indeed a joyful moment especially having His Excellency, Alh. Usman Ahmed Ododo an Eni’Ebira at the head of affairs as the successor to pilot the affairs of the state after Yahaya Bello.
A statement signed by the Secretary, Ebira Youth Consultative Forum for Good Governance, Amb. Avidime Ibrahim and made available to journalists on Thursday, 8th of February, 2024 expressed that Ododo’s legacy and blueprint to lead the state, embarking on the new and exciting journey coupled with his passion for the betterment of our dear state stand to achieve in a test of time.
“It is so painful that our newly Executive Governor His Excellency, Alh. Usman Ahmed Ododo seems not to be giving a free hand to exercise his quest for good governance, the current appointment from Ebira land shows clearly that the core participants of the former administration are still recruited into the new administration making it look as if our land does not have capable hands that will takeover after spending 8years in Yahaya Bello’s cabinet.”
The Forum frowns at Yahaya Bello for still living in kogi state government house despite his tenure was over,
“We want to urge Yahaya Bello to free our brother and also vacate Kogi State Government House premises to enable our brother carry out his core responsibility in moving the state to greater heights.”
Amb. Avidime Ibrahim on behalf of the union emphasises bitterness, saying Yahaya’s administration is over and should as a matter of urgency leave the new administration to coordinate his affairs.
Reiterated its unwavering commitment, loyalty and support to the new administration of His Excellency, Alh. Usman Ahmed Ododo,the organisation equally promised to sustain this advocacy until the needful is done.
