The Executive Director of the foundation, Dr Yusuf Suberu, made the call in an interview on Monday in Abuja.

“Ododo’s ambition is anchored on making life more bearable for every residents of the state. Progress is at play here. Kogi will no longer be called a one-way in and one-way out state.

Suberu, who also doubled as the National Coordinator, Road Traffic and Vehicle Inspection Mayors, warned the residents of the state against thuggery, violence and other criminal acts that could affect the voting process.
He however, advised Ododo that if elected as the governor, the interest of the youth and masses should be of paramount interest to him.

“Ododo has the capacity to pilot the affairs of Kogi State, he will also make the state a progressive one and bring about equity and justice, ” he said.
He further urged the people of the state to get ready for more transformation and the change they desired in the state.
