Kogi State Governor Usman Ododo rallies supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi East to unify and intensify mobilisation for the 2027 general elections, backing the party’s senatorial candidate, Dr. Joseph Erico. Both outlets report that the governor calls for coordinated efforts within the party as the campaign period builds.
The coverage describes Ododo’s intervention as part of a mobilisation tour. Nigerian Eye adds additional details, saying Ododo speaks through his deputy, Joel Oyibo, during visits to places including Idah, Ejule, Anyigba and Ankpa, which end with a grand homecoming rally at Erico’s hometown in Olamaboro Local Government Area. It also says Ododo presents President Bola Tinubu, Erico and three APC House of Representatives candidates and points to INEC’s confirmation of Erico’s candidacy as resolving earlier disputes. Punch emphasizes the rallying push but focuses more generally on the call for APC unity and mobilisation.
In his remarks, Erico thanks party members and constituents for their support during the primaries and promises to represent Kogi East in the National Assembly, while urging continued grassroots mobilisation across APC structures in the district.
