Kogi LG Election: Anyebe Praises Voter Turnout »

Kogi State Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Monday Aridaojo Anyebe, has commended voters for their turnout during the local government elections, expressing satisfaction with the conduct of the exercise in Olamaboro Local Government Area.

Anyebe cast his vote at Polling Unit 007, Igah Ward 4, in Olamaboro, where he praised residents for participating in the electoral process and described their turnout as a demonstration of faith in democracy.

“It is heartwarming to see such a massive turnout of voters. This is a testament to the people’s faith in democracy and their desire to contribute to the development of their local government,” the commissioner said after voting.

He also commended the Kogi State Independent Electoral Commission for what he described as a transparent and well-coordinated election process.

According to Anyebe, the exercise was transparent and fair, with no reported violence or disruption, adding that the electoral body had ensured a smooth voting process.

The commissioner further praised Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo for what he described as ensuring that the election proceeded without interference.

Anyebe also expressed optimism that candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) would emerge victorious, citing the governor’s goodwill and what he described as the party’s general acceptance across the state.

Recall that the Commissioner in months leading to the election led stakeholders, members and supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for ward to ward rallies which culminated in a grand finale on Thursday at the ceremonial center in Okpo. His prediction comes as voters participate in the local government elections to choose representatives at the grassroots level.
