Last Sunday, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced Ododo Ahmed Usman of the All Progressives Congress as the Governor-elect of Kogi State, despite the fact that he won the governorship election by a huge margin and met all requirements. He received 446,237 votes to defeat the other contenders.

Kogi State youths demonstrated today at the offices of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Abuja to express their faith in the umpire and their support for Governor-elect Usman Ododo.

The indigenes, who urged miscreants in the state posing as opposition groups to stop blackmailing the INEC, said the good people of Kogi State “stand by the mandate given to the duly elected Governor, Usman Ododo.”

They stressed that ethnic agenda had been nailed in the state and would not have a place again in its polity, and commended the good people of Kogi East who refused to be misled by those pursuing their own selfish interests at the expense of the collective good of the entire people of Kogi State.

The protesters who carried placards with inscriptions such as “Ododo is Kogi Agenda”, “The people of Kogi have spoken on November 11”, “INEC, Kogi youths are saying thank you”, and “Kogi has decided”, among others, said they would continue to gather at the INEC headquarters for as long as those they described as “dubious politicians” continued their “evil misinformation”.

One of the protesters, AbdulRahman Umar, said they were at the INEC headquarters to commend the authorities, including the security agencies for making the last election in the state the most peaceful and fairest in the history of Kogi State.

“We will never allow criminals and election robbers go away with misinformation. We all have a voice in Kogi State and the voice of truth is always louder no matter hard they try.

We have spoken loudly on November 11, and we will continue to speak until we stamp out ethnicity in our dear state,” he said.

Another lady protester, Asmau Idris, said Kogi indigenes were surprised when some people came out to say they were protesting against the INEC on Saturday’s election and decided to all come masse to Abuja to truncate “the evil agenda”.

“They told us to come out and vote. We voted for our choice.

It was free and fair. What else do they want? We will tell them that we all own Kogi State.

Other youths and stakeholders of the state who spoke at the rally vowed to remain at the headquarters everyday for as long as the action was needed, stressing that Kogi State was united and not divided.

Addressing the protesters, National Commissioner and Chairman, Security Committee of INEC, Maj. Gen. Modibbo Alkali (retd), appreciated their cooperation with the Commission and reiterated that the off-cycle elections conducted in Bayelsa, Imo and Kogi states were conducted fairly and credibly, in line with laid down guidelines.
