Kogi Guber: PWDs endorse APC’s Ododo
People With Disabilities (PWDs) in Kogi State have endorsed the governorship candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Ahmed Ododo and his running mate, Joel Salifu as the next Governor of Kogi State.
The people with disabilities said it became imperative to know fully well that they have enjoyed a high level of inclusion of persons with disabilities under the APC-led government of Governor Yahaya Bello.
In a world press conference held at the office for disability affairs by the Ododo/Oyibo disability vanguard, Ibrahim Daniel Arome noted that “Persons with disabilities in our ways of life don’t just throw support behind people anyhow but we do take our time to access many things.
We are glad to make it known to the entire kogites, Nigerians and the world the reasons why we cannot afford not to support APC and its candidate.”
The PWDs said the structure of APC as a political party from the national, state, and local government and down to the ward level makes constitutional provision for the inclusion of persons with disabilities (PWD), pointing out that no political party in Nigeria has such constitutional provisions.
“APC-led government under the leadership of former President, Muhammodu Buhari established the Disability Commission in 2018 as the first of its kind since the advent of democracy in Nigeria.
The APC led government in Kogi State under the leadership of Alhaji Yahaya Bello, has also demonstrated a high level of inclusion of persons with disabilities.
“The Executive Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello has changed the agony situation of the disability community in Kogi State into a joyous story.”
The PWDs gave reasons why they must continually give their support to APC and its candidate.
“Domesticating of the disability right law in Kogi State. Establishment of Kogi State Agency for Disability Affairs. Appointment of ten (10) persons with disabilities into the government. Given opportunity for persons with disabilities to the holy land.
“Provision of mobility aids to persons with disabilities. Given over hundred (100) persons with disabilities empowerment of over N2 million naira empowerment each under APPEALS Project. Educational support for some persons with disabilities who gain admission into higher institutions. Creation of Job opportunities for some persons with disabilities with the state government. Empowerment programs for many persons with disabilities”.
The PWDs therefore, called on the community, all Kogites and those who love persons with disabilities to queue behind Ahmed Usman Ododo/Joel Oyibo come November 11th, 2023.
“Having enjoyed the aforementioned great achievements from the government of APC both at the National and state level, we hereby endorse Ahmed Usman Ododo/Joel Oyibo Salifu as the next Governor of Kogi State come November 11, 2023.”
Similarly, Barr. Zacchaeus Dare Michael, Executive Secretary KOSODA, said the endorsement is a result of evaluation and analysis of the outgoing government, said having benefited so much from the APC-led administration, it became obvious to endorse Alhaji Usman Ahmed Ododo.
He called on all Kogites and the disability community to massively vote for the APC governorship candidate for more inclusion in the next administration.
The Executive Secretary assured of about 50,000 supporters for the APC governorship candidate and urged the PWDs to come out en mass to vote, pointing out that measures have been put in place for them to vote seamlessly.
The UK-Nigerian artist is shortlisted in five genre categories as well as Diaspora Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year
Princess Wonda has been nominated in eight categories at the Diaspora Creatives Awards 2026, the awards body confirmed on its official nominee list.
The UK-Nigerian Afrofusion artist is shortlisted for Diaspora Artist of the Year, Best Female Artist, Songwriter of the Year, and five genre awards: Best Afrobeats Artist, Best Amapiano Artist, Best Afro-Fusion Artist, Best Afro-R&B and Afro-Soul Artist, and Best Afro Pop Artist.
The Diaspora Creatives Awards, which runs under the line “Stars Beyond Borders”, holds its inaugural ceremony on Saturday 21 November 2026 at Atlanta Virtual Studios in Atlanta, Georgia. Public voting is open now at diasporacreativesawards.com.
Responding to the news on Instagram, Princess Wonda said she was “truly feeling honoured to be considered in 8 categories”.
The nominations were announced on 12 September, three weeks after she released Magic Hour, a seven-track EP produced by Mr Marz and Indigo Beats with guitar from Fiokee. The project passed three million Spotify streams in under two weeks and was her first EP or album since her 2021 debut Fantasy Fair.
She headlines 229 in London on Saturday 10 April 2027 with The Magic Hour Live Experience, a full live show with band, dancers and special guests. Tickets are on sale.
Every icon starts with a single spark. For emerging Nigerian Afrobeats artist Queen Geradzzy, that moment came back in 2013 on the vibrant streets of Lagos Mainland. Watching Tiwa Savage command the stage with poise, power, and unapologetic femininity, a young Geradzzy didn’t just see an artist—she saw a blueprint for her own future.
What began as a childhood dream quickly grew into an undeniable calling. By 2019, Geradzzy took a leap of faith, moving to Lekki to immerse herself fully in the heart of the Nigerian music industry. Years of quiet dedication, vocal refinement, and deep creative exploration followed. Today, that discipline is paying off as she prepares to step into the global spotlight.
Queen Geradzzy’s music sits at an exciting intersection where classic Afrobeats rhythms meet polished international pop and R&B. Her sound is inherently versatile—catchy, sensual, deeply emotional, and effortlessly relatable.
Much like the artist herself, her music balances soft vulnerability with an unshakeable, ambitious confidence. She brings a fresh perspective to modern African pop, leading with strong feminine energy and an aura of intentional mystery that leaves listeners wanting more.
Geradzzy’s upcoming debut EP is designed as a formal introduction to her artistry and personal journey. The project captures her evolution as both a woman and a musician, weaving through themes of romantic attraction, self-discovery, resilience, and personal growth.
With her eyes firmly set on the international stage, Queen Geradzzy is building a brand rooted in memorable melodies, high-concept visual storytelling, and live performances crafted to resonate across cultures.
The little girl from Lagos Mainland who once watched her idol on screen is now ready to build an empire of her own. Keep your eyes on Queen Geradzzy—her story is just getting started.
So I was scrolling earlier and stopped on this NNPC Retail flyer because it’s literally just a big question mark and a line that says “66 Reasons Why You Need To Watch This Space.” Nothing else. No context, no explanation, just vibes and mystery.
It also speaks to our Naija slang and banter (the “Omo,” “Gbas Gbos,” and “Sapa” ones had me laughing).
It’s part of their ongoing “66 Reasons Why We Love Naija” series, so it seems to be leading up to something for October 1st. What they are clear about is that you need the NNPC Fuel App to be in the loop. They describe it as fast, secure, reliable, and rewarding, and they’ve made it easy with a QR code you can scan straight from the post.
If they’re trying to build hype, it’s working on me. SCAN THE BAR CODE HERE.
