The Special Adviser on Media to the Kogi State Governor, Ismaila Isah, has commissioned a new secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogaminana, Adavi Local Government Area.
The new APC secretariat located at Inorere in Ogaminana Central Ward is an initiative of the Special Adviser on Media to the Governor to support party administration and activities in the local government area.
Speaking during the ceremony, Isah said the secretariat was aimed at reassuring party members and supporters in Ogaminana Central that they remained a vital part of the APC family and the administration of Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo.
He commended the people of the area for their loyalty to the progressive movement through the legacy parties to the APC, noting that their support over the years had contributed immensely to the party’s success in the area.
According to him, the people of Ogaminana Central have remained steadfast and committed to the party for more than 13 years despite political dispensation.
“This secretariat is a symbol of unity among members and supporters who have continued to stand by the party and the administration of Governor Ododo.
It is also to assure you that, you have not been abandoned and more good things are coming,” he said.
The Governor’s spokesman further explained that the initiative for youths, women and artisans was the first phase of a wider initiative that would cut across the 22 polling units of Ogaminana Central Ward.
He urged residents to continue supporting the administration of Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the political aspirations of former Governor Yahaya Bello for Senate alongside other APC candidates in future elections.
