Deputy Governor of Kogi State, Edward Onoja, urged voters to prioritize continuity over sentiments, emphasizing that elections revolve around political parties rather than tribe, religion, or region.
Governor Yahaya Bello cautioned against ethnic politics and emphasized the progress and unity that have been achieved during his tenure. He highlighted the importance of fairness, equity, and justice in governing the state.
In his speech, the APC Governorship Candidate, Usman Ododo, stated that his aspiration is centered around the people, progress, and unity of the state. He emphasized the need for unity, development, and prosperity.
