Why APC Will Win Kogi in 2027 — Commissioner Fanwo

The Kogi Commissioner for Information and Communications, Mr Kingsley Fanwo, says the interventions of President Bola Tinubu and the performance of Governor Ahmed Ododo will boost support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections.

Fanwo made this known on Friday in Lokoja while assessing the relationship between the Federal Government and the Kogi State Government, noting that ongoing projects and interventions have created new opportunities for the state.

He said Federal Government interventions in Kogi — particularly in infrastructure, security, transportation, economic development, and strategic investments — have delivered tangible benefits to residents. According to him, the reconstruction of major federal highways, support for security operations, and development of strategic economic infrastructure have strengthened the partnership between the Federal Government and the state.

Fanwo said the Ododo administration has complemented these federal efforts through its own investments in roads, healthcare, education, agriculture, security, and rural development, adding that the combination of Federal Government interventions and state-level projects has given the APC what he described as a strong record to present to Kogi residents ahead of the 2027 elections.

"With what the President has done in Kogi, it will be difficult for other presidential candidates to mount a serious campaign in the state on moral ground," he said. "The President has given Kogi people reasons to appreciate his administration. The people can see the projects, interventions and opportunities that his administration has brought to the state. Politics is important but development is more important. The people are interested in what government is doing to improve their lives and expand opportunities for their children."

The commissioner said Kogi residents are closely watching the benefits emerging from this Federal-state partnership, stressing the need for continuity to ensure the completion of ongoing projects and the expansion of economic opportunities across the state.

"We need continuity in the partnership between the Federal Government and the State Government. We need the roads to be completed. We need the airport to become operational. We need our economic corridors to expand, more investments and more opportunities for our young people. That is why continuity matters," he said.

Fanwo said the APC would continue engaging with residents to communicate what he described as the achievements of the Tinubu and Ododo administrations as the 2027 elections draw closer.
