Senior Special Assistant to the Kogi State Governor on Farm Inputs, Hon. Honorius Arome, has congratulated the All Progressives Congress (APC), Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo, and Hon. Hassan following the party’s overwhelming victory in Saturday’s Okura State Constituency by-election.
According to results released by electoral officials and made available to The Bureau News, the APC candidate, Hon. Hassan, won with a wide margin, polling 55,073 votes to defeat the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which scored 1,038 votes. The APM finished third with 445 votes.
In a statement issued shortly after the announcement of the results, Hon. Honorius Arome said the resounding victory clearly reflects the confidence of the people in Governor Ododo’s leadership and the growing popularity of the APC across Kogi State.
He congratulated Governor Ododo, the APC family and Hon. Hassan for “a well-deserved victory” and described the outcome as “a clear demonstration of the trust the people of Okura have placed in the developmental vision of this administration.”
Hon. Arome also pledged his full support ahead of future electoral contests, promising that the Ibaji Local Government Area, Kogi East, and the entire state would deliver block votes for the APC in the 2027 general elections.
He reaffirmed his commitment to mobilising grassroots support for the party and working closely with stakeholders to ensure continued development and inclusive governance across the state.
