Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo of Kogi State had a chanced meeting with the Senator representing Kogi State Central Senatorial District, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan today, January 31. The husband of Natasha, Chief Uduaghan was by her side at the meeting.
The two sides, from the same Senatorial District, have never met since they were elected on the platforms of two different political parties. While Ododo was elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Natasha was elected Senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
Natasha had avoided the immediate past Governor of the State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello not only because of serious political differences but grudges over alleged physical attacks on her by the agents of Yahaya Bello.
Also today, Governor Ododo paid a condolence visit to the family of the State Auditor General, Alhaji Yakubu Yusuf Okala, in Ajiolo, Dekina Local Government Area. The Auditor General lost his mother and matriarch of the Okala family, Hajiya Amina Yusuf Okala, last week Friday.
The Governor was accompanied by top officials of the Kogi State Government to the 8th Day Fidau prayer for the Auditor General’s late mother.
