Political support for Tinubu and Ododo in Kogi State

Overview

Political groups and community organizations in Kogi State have mobilized to express support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo ahead of the 2027 general elections.

In August 2026, indigenes from South-South states residing in Kogi declared their loyalty to the All Progressives Congress (APC), citing Governor Ododo’s commitment to unity and development. The group noted that the Governor had previously received the traditional title of ‘Oshio’ from South-South stakeholders.

By September 2026, the Asiwaju Connect Group held a stakeholders’ meeting in Lokoja to advocate for the reelection of Governor Ododo and the continued leadership of President Tinubu. During this meeting, officials highlighted the administration’s investments in infrastructure, such as the Kogi International Airport and the Lokoja Ultra-Modern Market, as well as progress in security, healthcare, and agriculture. The group resolved to focus on grassroots mobilization and issue-based politics centered on verifiable achievements.
