The endorsement, coming from a key grassroots mobilizer in the state, underscores the widespread acclaim for the governor’s rising profile in national politics.
Onuche’s statement, issued yesterday, paints the appointment as a fitting tribute to Ododo’s exemplary leadership amid the party’s preparations for its crucial national convention.
In glowing terms, Hon. Onuche described appointment as a resounding affirmation of Governor Ododo’s exceptional leadership qualities, unmatched administrative prowess, and unwavering political maturity.
“This is a clear recognition of the governor’s outstanding contributions,” Onuche stated, adding that the national leadership of the APC has reposed immense confidence in Ododo due to his proven track record of credibility, integrity, and strategic governance.
He highlighted how Ododo’s swift rise since assuming office in January 2024 has positioned him as a reliable pair of hands for the party’s top echelons, especially at a time when the APC seeks to consolidate its dominance ahead of future electoral battles.
The SSA emphasized that Governor Ododo’s selection is far more than a personal milestone; it represents a collective triumph for the entire Kogi State populace.
“This moment of pride elevates Kogi as a pivotal player in the nation’s political landscape,” Onuche noted, pointing to the governor’s inclusive policies that have bridged divides across ethnic and political lines.
From infrastructure renewal projects to youth empowerment initiatives, Ododo’s administration has consistently prioritized the welfare of the grassroots, earning accolades that now resonate at the national level.
This appointment, Onuche argued, signals Kogi’s growing influence within the APC’s national framework.
Delving deeper into Ododo’s credentials, Hon. Onuche praised the governor’s people-centered governance model, which has fostered unity and development at the grassroots.
He recalled how Ododo’s inclusive leadership, marked by consultations with traditional rulers, youth groups, and opposition figures, has transformed Kogi into a model of harmony in Nigeria’s often fractious political arena.
“His commitment to equitable resource distribution and poverty alleviation programmes continues to inspire admiration nationwide,” the SSA remarked, linking these efforts directly to the trust placed in Ododo by APC national leaders.
Furthermore, Onuche spotlighted Governor Ododo’s innate ability to build consensus and drive effective governance, qualities that make him ideally suited for the demands of the APC National Convention Committee.
The committee, tasked with organizing the party’s landmark convention, requires leaders who can navigate complex party dynamics and rally members toward common goals.
“His Excellency’s diplomatic finesse and dedication to party unity position him perfectly for this role,” Onuche affirmed, expressing firm belief that Ododo will play a pivotal part in ensuring the convention’s resounding success and bolstering the APC’s national cohesion.
Hon. Excel Onuche also reaffirmed his unshakeable loyalty and total support for Governor Ododo, pledging continued grassroots mobilization to back the governor’s dual responsibilities at state and national levels.
“We stand solidly behind His Excellency as he takes on this prestigious national assignment,” he declared, urging Kogi indigenes to view the appointment as a call to renewed patriotism.
Onuche expressed profound optimism that Governor Ododo’s involvement will propel good governance, deepen party unity, and foster sustainable democratic growth across Nigeria.
“This is a win for progressive politics,” he concluded, wishing the governor unparalleled success. As the APC gears up for its convention, Ododo’s role is poised to shape the party’s trajectory, with Kogi State watching proudly.
