A Chieftain of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Kogi, Mr Abdulrahman Tanko-Ozi, on Thursday, defected and declared support for APC Governorship Candidate in the state, Mr Usman Ododo.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the chieftain, who was the SDP Senatorial candidate for Kogi West in the 2023 general elections, collapsed his structures and moved his loyalists in Kogi West to the APC.

Tanko-Ozi, who is now APC’s big fish, was the minority leader in Kogi house of assembly from 2007 to 2011, representing Kogi/Koton Karfe State constituency.

According to him, having analysed all the candidates of the various political parties, including the SDP, I have come to realise that only Ododo has the required competence and will to govern Kogi and truly build on the achievements of Gov. Yahaya Bello.

“From what I have seen so far in the state, I have to commend our amiable governor for providing a purposeful leadership and unprecedented infrastructure in the state,” he said.

While welcoming the new catch and his supporters at his Lokoja residence, the APC guber candidate noted that the former SDP chieftain had made the right choice in the interest of the state.

Ododo promised to consolidate on the achievements of his mentor, Bello if he eventually wins the state’s Nov. 11 governorship election.

He enjoined residents to ensure that Kogi remained on the path of growth and national reckoning by voting for APC en masse in the Nov. 11 governorship election. NAN
