Okun Traditional Rulers Unanimously Reject Governor Ododo's 2027 Re-Election Bid
The Okun traditional rulers, including leaders like Canon Andrew Baiyekuhi and Chief Samuel Obaro, have jointly rejected Governor Ododo's bid for re-election in 2027, warning that it could exacerbate existing socio-economic tensions in Kogi State. The monarchs, represented by the Okun Leader League, criticized the Governor for allegedly neglecting the royal institution in Okunland and urged him to focus on governance rather than political maneuvers.
They questioned Ododo's engagement with traditional rulers in Kogi East and highlighted the need for the state to progress beyond its current challenges. The rejection comes amidst claims of political arrangements and power shifts within the state.
