Kogi Summit Backs Ododo's Term, Proposes 2032 Rotation
At the Kogi Power Rotation Summit held on September 30 and October 1, 2026, at the K Galaxy Event Centre in Lokoja, delegates supported Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo completing a second term. The summit, organized by the Kogi Unity Accord, included stakeholders from Kogi East, Kogi Central, and Kogi West.
A communiqué issued stated that power rotation should commence in 2032 to allow for further consultations and legislative development while ensuring Ododo completes his term. However, some delegates, including Amb.
Rotimi Akenson from the Okun Development Association and a representative from the Christian Association of Nigeria, called for immediate power transfer to Kogi West, citing the region's historical lack of governorship. The summit emphasized that power rotation should not compromise leadership qualities and acknowledged that the 1999 Constitution does not mandate such rotation.
Kogi State House of Assembly Speaker Aliyu Umar Yusuf indicated readiness to consider legislation for a power rotation framework.
