Political leaders and government officials in Kogi State on Monday declared their support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027, expressing confidence that the state would deliver overwhelming votes for the President and the All Progressives Congress (APC) following ongoing federal and state infrastructure projects.
The endorsement came as the Renewed Hope Ambassadors and the Presidential Media Team concluded the third day of an inspection tour of major development projects across the state.
Speaking during the inspection in Gbede, Yagba West Local Government Area, Kogi State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Kingsley Fanwo, said residents had witnessed tangible development under the Tinubu administration and would demonstrate their appreciation at the polls in 2027.
According to him, the Federal Government’s economic reforms have increased resources available to states, enabling Kogi to execute critical projects in infrastructure, healthcare and other sectors.
Leading the inspection team, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communications, Sunday Dare, said the projects visited reflected the implementation of the Renewed Hope Agenda and demonstrated the administration’s commitment to improving the quality of life of Nigerians.
He noted that the team inspected a 15-kilometre asphalted internal road network with drainage, a newly constructed Primary Health Centre and the ongoing reconstruction of the Kabba–Egbe–Omuaran–Ilorin Road, a federal highway abandoned for decades before work resumed.
The delegation also visited rural road projects in Okene, the International Market under construction in Lokoja on a 16-hectare site and the Federal Teaching Hospital in the state capital.
Dare commended Governor Usman Ododo for executing projects in education, healthcare, road infrastructure, security and human capital development, describing them as consistent with the Federal Government’s Eight-Point Agenda.

He said President Tinubu had made infrastructure a national priority, citing the reconstruction of strategic highways and the rehabilitation of over 1,000 Primary Health Centres nationwide to strengthen healthcare delivery.
According to Dare, improved road networks are critical to supporting industrial growth, pointing to the presence of major cement manufacturing companies in Kogi and the need for efficient transportation corridors to facilitate the movement of goods and services.
Officials who received the delegation also praised both the Federal and Kogi State governments for ongoing development efforts.
Chairman of Yagba West Local Government, Tosin Olokun, and the Commissioner for Environment and Ecological Management, Joseph Oluwasegun, described recent projects in the area as unprecedented, while Kogi Commissioner for Works, Deedat Ozigi, highlighted extensive road, bridge and erosion control projects in Okene and reaffirmed the state’s support for President Tinubu’s administration.
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Engagement, Fredrick Nwabufo, said sustained investment in road infrastructure remained central to the administration’s strategy for stimulating economic growth and improving national connectivity.
