The Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Usman Ododo, reportedly attended the Peoples Democratic Party Governors Forum Gala Night, hosted by the Governor of Taraba State, Agbu Kefas, after the Forum’s meeting held in Jalingo, the state capital, on Friday.

The gala night, according to the Governor of Adamawa State, Ahmadu Fintiri, in a post via his X handle, @GovernorAUF, on Saturday, was to showcase “The rich cultural heritage of Taraba State.”

The post, which included pictures, one of which Ododo, a member of the All Progressives Congress, was seen flanked by the PDP governors, read, “Yesterday, after our @OfficialPDPNig Governors Forum meeting, @GovAgbuKefas hosted a vibrant Gala Night showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Taraba. From the colourful displays to the captivating performances, it was truly a night to remember. Thank you, Taraba, for your warm hospitality.”

Wondering why an APC governor who secured a Supreme Court victory barely hours earlier would attend a PDP function, Nigerians have begun questioning Ododo’s presence at the gala night.

Reacting to the post, an X user who posts as @PrinceOfIgala wrote, “Is that not Ododo, who got the Supreme Court judgement yesterday? I will be glad if that is Ododo who got Supreme Court judgment yesterday I am seeing there. @officialABAT how market?.”

@Ayotund1 wrote, “Ododo dey PDP be that o”, @oil_shaeikh wrote, “Is that not Gov Ododo”, @hon_Asadiq reacted by saying, “What brought Ododo here please?”, @mashaallahujada simply quipped, “Hmm, Kogi State Governor Usman Ododo.”

Another X user who posts as @Emmanue99884047 simply inquired, “Who brought Ododo here?”, @LOD_hyper7 questioned the Kogi governor’s presence at the gala night saying, “No be Ododo be this?”, another X user, @Jaycn330 also inquired, “Is that not Usman Ododo of Kogi State.”

Recall that PUNCH Online reported that the Supreme Court on Friday dismissed the appeal of the Social Democratic Party candidate, Muritala Ajaka, contesting Ododo’s victory in the Kogi State governorship election.

Ajaka had challenged the result announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission after the November 11, 2023 election which produced APC’s Ododo as winner.

After his petition was dismissed at the Kogi State Election Petition Tribunal, Ajaka appealed the tribunal judgment at the Court of Appeal, Abuja, where his appeal was also dismissed.

A five-member panel of the apex court, in a unanimous decision on Friday, affirmed Ododo’s victory as the panel refused to void the election as requested by Ajaka.

Defection loading as EFCC declares Bello wanted. With the way things are going, before 2027 only Sanwuolu and Oyebanji and a few SW governors will remain in APC governor's forum.

When the North mean you, OTP is your lot.

Don't over estimate the north. They are mostly bunch of clowns.

If you want to silence them, just tell them the president is setting up a committee to look into the abandoned confab 2014 reports.
Or there is a presidential committee set up to restructure the country.
