Kogi Workers Mobilize for Tinubu and Ododo Re-election

As Nigeria prepares for the 2027 general elections, Kogi State is experiencing increased political activity, particularly among organized labor advocating for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu and Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo. The campaign, led by Comrade Onuh Edoka, Special Adviser to Governor Ododo on Labour Matters, aims to raise awareness about workplace security and workers' welfare.

The initiative, themed “Workplace Security: Protection, Sensitisation and Preparedness Against Banditry and Kidnapping,” has reached various local government areas across Kogi's three senatorial districts. Edoka emphasized the collective responsibility of security, urging workers to remain vigilant and support policies that protect their jobs.

He highlighted the Ododo administration's welfare initiatives, including the implementation of a new minimum wage, full salaries for local government workers, and health insurance for workers and pensioners. The campaign seeks to encourage informed political choices among workers, advocating for continuity in government where positive policies are in place.
