Speculations as APC Governor is spotted during PDP Governors meeting
The recent appearance of Governor Usman Ododo of Kogi State alongside eleven governors from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has sparked widespread speculation.
A photo circulating online shows Ododo, an All Progressives Congress (APC) governor, dressed in identical attire to his PDP counterparts.
The PDP governors in the photo include Bala Mohammed of Bauchi, Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa, Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers, Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta, Godwin Obaseki of Edo, Peter Mbah of Enugu, Dauda Lawal of Zamfara, and Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau.
The picture’s context is notable, as it was taken in Taraba State, where PDP governors had convened to address internal party crises and issue a communique.
This has led to rumors about Ododo potentially aligning himself with the PDP, particularly since he recently secured a victory in his gubernatorial dispute at the Supreme Court.
However, Kingsley Fanwo, the Kogi State Commissioner for Information and Communication, clarified the situation.
He stated that Governor Ododo’s presence in Taraba was solely to attend the wedding of Governor Kefas’ daughter, dismissing any speculations about political defection.
He wrote: “The Chief Servant of Kogi State, His Excellency Alh Ahmed Usman Ododo jet out hours after his Supreme Court victory to attend the wedding of the daughter of the Taraba State Governor, His Excellency Agbu Kefas in Taraba.
“The wedding was also attended by Captains of industries and other Governors across the country. Governor Ododo wishes the new couple a happy married life.”
