Addressing the media in Lokoja during a press conference on Thursday, Engr. Oladeji Bamidele revealed his readiness to collaborate and align with the Governor-Elect, Alhaji Usman Ahmed Ododo, signaling a departure from his party’s stance.

He emphasized these credentials as essential for steering Kogi State toward progress and development.

In a call for post-election unity and reconciliation, Oladeji drew an analogy between politics and sports, stressing the importance of cooperation and healing despite the heated campaign.

“As we transition from a hard-fought campaign to the governance phase, I believe that healing must start immediately.

He urged stakeholders and citizens alike to rally behind Alhaji Ododo’s administration, transcending religious, tribal, and political boundaries for the state’s greater good.

The deputy governorship candidate concluded by encouraging Alhaji Ododo to collaborate with individuals of goodwill, irrespective of their political backgrounds or voting affiliations.

It was reported that an alliance was formed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), African Democratic Congress (ADC), Social Democratic Party (SDP), Peoples Allied Movement (PAM), New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Young Progressives Party (YPP), and Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), on Wednesday in Abuja at the National Secretariat of the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

This follows a proposal made in November by the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, for the opposition to unite due to concerns about the country’s potential slide into a one-party state.
