The Kogi State governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Ahmed Ododo has been interrogated by the Department of State Services on a petition against him by some members of the opposition political parties.
In a statement on Saturday in Lokoja, the state capital, the Commissioner for Information, Mr. Kingsley Fanwo confirmed that Ododo was invited by the DSS.
Fanwo said: “The allegations contained in the petition are frivolous and unfounded, but it was incumbent on the APC governorship candidate to respect a constituted authority such as the DSS”
“Ododo was drilled by a team of operatives at the DSS for hours and he gave convincing explanations to the interrogators.
“We commend the professionalism of the DSS and pledge our cooperation to whatever measures taken or that would be taken to ensure a peaceful Kogi and a peaceful poll in November 2023.
“We assure supporters of the APC governorship candidate that he has since left the DSS office to continue his consultations with Kogites ahead of the Guber poll.
“Our commitment to peace and tranquillity is iron cast. Every Kogite and every supporter of Alh. Ahmed Usman Ododo should endeavour to be peaceful in all their activities towards the election”.
