APC member and attorney Jesutega Onokpasa has responded to inquiries on Kogi Governor Usman Ododo’s nonattendance at an APC function held at the national secretariat.

Onokpasa, in a video shared on YouTube by TVC, said Ododo’s focus is on governing Kogi State, which is larger than the entire southeast region. He said that any security concerns in Kogi require Ododo’s attention, and his absence from the event was unrelated to Bello’s situation.

It’s appalling when you hear statements from those who are supposed to be learned but in truth are not. This comment on the south east i consider highly derogatory. Referring to the south east as though it was a fruitless state like Kogi.
