Ahmed Usman Ododo is a child of grace perfectly secured and programmed to be a highly successful young man and simply put, it is grace that is at work. I am glad to see him come out victorious at the Kogi State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal. Henceforth, I counsel all and sundry to queue behind this vibrant, energetic, progress driven Governor of ours in order to receive the flow of grace oozing out divinely through him to the entire citizens of Kogi State.”

It is my earnest prayers that Almighty Allah will give all parents and guardians the wherewithal to defend for these wards given to them by Almighty Allah. May sickness and death be faraway from them. May they continue to grow under great grace just like His Excellency, Alh. Ahmed Usman Ododo, the Executive Governor of Kogi State, whom we are celebrating his victory at the Kogi State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal today.” He said.
