Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Usman Ododo, has described President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as Nigeria’s boldest reformer, saying his courage, tough economic choices and emerging results have earned him endorsement of Kogi youths ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking on Saturday at a massive rally held at the President Muhammadu Buhari Civic Centre, Lokoja, to mark two years of his administration, Ododo said the gathering represented both a celebration of youth-centred governance in Kogi State and a strong vote of confidence in President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
“The youths of Kogi State have spoken with one loud, clear and courageous voice. Your endorsement of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not emotional; it is informed. It is the decision of young people who can think, who can judge results, and who understand leadership,” the governor said.
Ododo said while many leaders would have chosen political safety, President Tinubu opted for difficult but necessary reforms to prevent economic collapse.
“Any politician thinking only of re-election would have played safe. But Jagaban faced the storm, took the heat and led from the front. Today, we are seeing the results of courage: the naira is stabilising, food prices are responding, the cost of living is dropping,” he said.
He described the President as a father figure whose guidance has strengthened his resolve to serve Kogi State faithfully, noting that the youths’ endorsement showed their capacity to recognise good governance.
