Meaning, 60 percent for Men and 40 percent for Women. His Excellency Alhaji Yahaya Bello did 35 but we will do 40. Ours is to build and consolidate on the previous achievement. APC will win all the Local Government seats in Kogi State Insha Allah.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me re-echo that the Vice Chairmen will remain women. Nobody will impose anybody on us. Irrespective of your party, I am here to serve the People of Kogi State. This mandate is for the people and my government will be all-inclusive.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, his administration has invested billions of naira in agriculture to ensure food security in Kogi State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must work with President Tinubu for the development of our country. He is doing well to cushion the current economic challenges. I am appealing to Nigerians to support him for the nation to move forward\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>On the issue of Local Government autonomy, Governor Ododo said since 2016, Local Government in Kogi State has been granted autonomy adding that the state has never tempered with local government funds.<\/p>\n<p>He urged aggrieved individuals in the state to put aside their selfish interests and work for the progress of Kogi State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must forget our differences and see how we can make use of our resources for our dear State. I am ready to go any length to make Kogi State great. This Local Government election will be a testing ground for all of us. I want to tell Mr President that we will give APC 100 percent.
