Kogi State Deputy Governor, Comrade Joel Salifu, has cautioned government appointees to give back to the people or risk facing a backlash at the polls.
He emphasized the importance of accountability and engagement with the community, stressing that failure to do so could lead to a loss of public trust and support.
During a meeting with the forum of Senior Special Assistants to the Governor from the eastern flank at his residence in Lokoja, Comrade Salifu urged appointees to return to their communities and give an account of their stewardship.
He highlighted the Governor’s directive during the last Sallah celebration, where officials were instructed to engage with the people in their wards and Local Governments to foster confidence in the administration.
Comrade Salifu also celebrated the recent Supreme Court victory, stating that it belongs to everyone and that the Governor is prepared to unveil significant initiatives for the benefit of the people. The Deputy Governor described Governor Ododo as a “chief servant”, urging the people to share their burdens with him.
The forum was encouraged to work towards the success of the party’s candidates in the upcoming Council election and to pray for the state’s progress.
Earlier, the forum’s Chairman, Aminu Atabor, congratulated the Governor and Deputy on their Supreme Court victory, saying it signifies a victory for the people of the state.
Atabor assured that the forum will engage with the people at the grassroots level to welcome back former members who were deceived into supporting the opposition party.
