No doubt I was the only female candidate then, but I have seen a Man full with capacity and determination to work for his people. That Man is Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo.
"He has the quality to continue the good work of his Excellency Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello. I have looked at other candidate contesting, none of them can match this Man. We shouldn't deceive ourselves. This election is already a work over for APC. It is only APC and no other party.
"As I speak to you, I have began the mobilization of over 500,000 Women to campaign and vote for Ododo in Kogi State. Don't forget, I am a fashion designer who has a lot of network across the 21 Local Government Area of Kogi State. All my supporters have all made up their minds to follow me for APC to get Victory come November. Their is no course for alarm. We are already on ground to work for Ahmed Usman Ododo. No shaking.
"Looking at some of the achievement of the present administration, you will all agree with me that there is total face lift in health, education, security, youth empowerment, employment opportunities and many more. All these was done by a Man who has the interest of electorates despite our diversity in religion, ethnicity and party. Women were carried along. For the first time, we have over 40 percent of Women in the governance of Kogi State.
" It wasn't like this before now. With this landmark achievement of our award winning Governor, I am very convinced that Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo will do more for us. That is why I will put all my best, use my network to ensure that he is elected as the successor of Alhaji Yahaya Bello the hero of Kogi democracy".
