Disclose accurate figure of Kogi State workforce, wage bill — PDP challenges Gov Ododo
The Kogi State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has challenged Governor Usman Ododo to make full disclosure of the state’s total workforce and wage bill.
The state chapter of the party argued that such transparency is essential for citizens to better understand the state’s financial management and administrative practices.
In a statement issued by the state publicity secretary, Alhaji Tijani Aruwa, PDP criticised the current administration for a lack of transparency, likening the state’s governance to that of a “secret agency.”
The party expressed concern that citizens remain largely uninformed about the financial activities and decisions that affect their lives.
Aruwa said: “The people of Kogi State deserve to know the truth about their government’s financial dealings. Governor Ododo must provide accurate figures regarding the state workforce and the total wage bill. This information is crucial for accountability and to ensure that public funds are utilised effectively.”
PDP further lamented Governor Ododo’s extravagant spending, noting he has reportedly spent over two billion naira on renovating his own office.
The party drew parallels between Ododo and his predecessor, Yahaya Bello, suggesting that the current administration’s approach to governance is not significantly different.
“We urge citizens not to be misled by claims of salary payments, highlighting that Kogi State reportedly has one of the lowest numbers of civil servants at both the local and state levels. The administration appears to be run by a select group prioritising their interests over the welfare of citizens.
“It is imperative that the government provide comprehensive public disclosure of its financial activities and the true state of the workforce. Only then can we begin to restore trust and accountability in our governance,” he added.

BRICS will elevate Africa, more countries will join – Primate Ayodele
The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, on Tuesday lauded the inclusion of some African countries, including Nigeria, as partners in the BRICS block.
Primate Ayodele said the organization will help elevate Africa while challenging the structure of the United Nations in the continent.
In a statement by his spokesman, the prophet explained that BRICS will offer Africa better options than the United Nations and the misconception about the African continent will begin to change for the better with BRICS.
According to Primate Ayodele: ‘’BRICS will wake up Africa and will challenge the UN’s Capacity in Africa structure. It will make Africa more sensible because it will offer what the UN has not offered before. This will cause a conflict of interest in the UN because the body has enslaved Africa for so long.’’
The prophet noted that there will be opposition against the prosperity of BRICS in the continent but regardless, he revealed that more nations will join because it will promote coexistence among nations.
‘’BRICS is a welcome development to balance Africa and make the continent excel. Although there will be opposition against BRICs in the continent, more African nations will join and this will harmonize co-existence and integration in the continent.
‘’It will correct a lot of misconceptions about Africa and tidy up the continent properly. With BRICs, Africa will begin to experience more financial and economic stability,” he added.
