Kogi Governor Ododo Advocates for Unity Accord Framework

Kogi State Governor Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo expressed his support for the Kogi Unity Accord, calling for an enduring framework aimed at fostering peace, equity, and sustainable development within the state. This statement was made on Tuesday at the Government House in Lokoja during the reception of the Kogi Unity Accord Committee's report, chaired by Hon. Bode Adeyemi.

The initiative aims to unite Kogi's people and address longstanding political and sectional differences. Ododo highlighted the importance of viewing the state's resources, such as coal, lithium, and gold, as commonwealth rather than belonging to specific regions or ethnic groups.

He urged the committee to ensure that the consensus reached is documented and shared with key stakeholders, including former governors and traditional rulers. The governor emphasized that the Unity Accord transcends partisan politics, involving participants from various political parties and senatorial districts, and commended the committee for its efforts to promote unity and inclusive governance.
