DRIVERS OF FORUM OF POLITICAL APPOINTEES CLARIFY CONDOLENCES TO GOVERNOR ODODO : NOT SYCOPHANTIC BUT SINCERE MOURNING
The Drivers of Forum of Political Appointees Under Wada Administration (2012-2016) have addressed recent rumors suggesting that their installation of two giant billboards mourning the passing of Alhaji Ahmed Momoh-Sani Ododo, father of His Excellency Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, Governor of Kogi State, was an act of sycophancy.
In a press statement shared with our reporter in Lokoja, Hon. Austine Alaba Medaiyedu—also known as SONS AND DAUGHTERS, a member of the Drivers forum—denounced the rumors as entirely malicious and false.
Hon. Austine emphasized that the forum’s mourning is genuine and patriotic, expressing deep sympathy with Governor Ododo, his immediate family, and the entire state. He described the suggestion that their heartfelt condolences are a ploy to solicit payments of outstanding salaries as wicked and baseless.
He stated, “Such thinking is barbaric, outdated, and unacceptable.”
Hon. Austine further affirmed that if anyone besides the Governor and his family can be considered chief mourners, it is the Drivers forum, which stands as one of the most genuinely bereaved organizations in Kogi State.
Details statement reads:
DEATH OF ODODO’S FATHER: WE ARE NOT SYCOPHANTS, WE SINCERELY MOURNED WITH GOVERNOR ODODO
The Drivers of Forum of Political Appointees Under Wada Administration (2012-2016) has debunked the ongoing rumours that the Forum’s installation of two giant Billboards to mourn the Demise of Alhaji Ahmed Momoh-Sani Ododo, the father of His Excellency, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, the Chief Servant of Kogi State who died at the age of 83 as an act of sycophcacy.
According to a press statement made available to our reporter in Lokoja by Hon. Austine Alaba Medaiyedu…..aka SONS AND DUATHHERS, one of the Drivers of the political platform, he described the rumour as total wickedness.
He went further to clear the air that the forum is very sincere and patriotic in their mourning moment with Governor Ododo, members of his immediate family and the state as a whole.
For anyone to give a different meaning to our heartfelt condolences for the Governor and refer it as an act of Sycophcacy because we are PLEADING with him to pay us is nothing but wickedness.
Hon Austine maintained that “this line of thinking is barbaric, outdated and excommunicated”
If there’s any chief mourner after the governor himself and his immediate families, our Forum is the most sincerely bereaved organisation in the state.
We so much appreciate the giant strides of Governor Ododo’s administration in less than two years in office and we are glad to see his wonderful achievements as a worthy successor of Governor Yahaya Bello…aka the White Lion.
We are not going to allow those whose stock in trade is to pull us backward by poisoning the good heart of the governor against our modest request for the payment of our outstanding salaries to have their way. We can assure them that they have FAILED!
Governor Ododo, our thoughts are with you at this grieving moment.
While praying to Almighty Allah to rest the soul of your loving and caring father, Alhaji Ahmed Momoh-Sani Ododo in ALJANNAH FIRDAUS, God will equally grant your Excellency the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss.
