The Governor of Kogi State, Ahmed Usman Ododo, on Tuesday received Muritala Yakubu Ajaka at the Government House in Lokoja during a courtesy visit following Ajaka’s return to the All Progressives Congress.

Governor Ododo appreciated Ajaka for what he described as a mature and peaceful disposition, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to uniting the people of the state regardless of political differences.
The governor stressed that building a greater Kogi State requires collective effort that goes beyond political interests and election contests.
According to a statement issued by Kingsley Femi Fanwo, the meeting reflected ongoing efforts by the state government to promote peace, stability, and inclusive development across Kogi State.
The statement was released on May 13, 2026.
