The Minister of Steel Development, Prince Shuaibu Abubakar Audu, has reaffirmed that Kogi State remains firmly behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of next year’s presidential elections.
The minister promised that the state would deliver a resounding victory for Mr. President more than it did in the 2023 general election.
Reacting to recent political comments by an opposition figure of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) from Kogi State, Audu noted that while every Nigerian is entitled to their political opinion in a democracy, delivering Kogi State requires more than just rhetoric.
According to him, the state’s electoral strength lies in tried and tested structures, credible leadership, formidable grassroots structures and reach, and the confidence of the people.

He reaffirmed that Kogi State remained solidly aligned with the All Progressives Congress (APC), built on the strong political foundation laid by his late father, Prince Abubakar Audu.
The minister recalled that Kogi State delivered about 65 per cent of the votes for President Tinubu in the last election in 2023, expressing confidence that the margin would increase significantly in 2027 as more Nigerians continued to experience the dividends of democracy under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu.
“Kogi State is not for rhetoric; Kogi is for results. And the APC will deliver decisively once again,” Audu said.
