The Ekuzi Progressive Association in Kogi Local Government Area of Kogi State has described Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo as a detribalised leader with a strong commitment to grassroots development.
The President of the Association, Comrade Idris Muhammed, made the commendation during an interactive session with journalists in Lokoja.
Comrade Idris stated that the Ekuzi community, which comprises two political wards—Akpasu and Irenodu—with over 22 polling units, remains fully committed to supporting Governor Ododo ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He noted that the association deeply appreciates the governor’s goodwill, particularly his support for the roofing of the Ekuzi Unity House project in Agbudu.
According to him, the association will continue to recognize and commend the governor’s development-driven initiatives, especially those positively impacting rural communities.
Comrade Idris also pledged the unwavering loyalty of the youths and members of the association to the Ododo-led administration, stressing that the group is equally committed to supporting the second-term bid of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
