Governor Usman Ododo of Kogi State has sparked discussions after appearing in a widely circulated photo alongside ten governors from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),
The image, which has been trending online, shows Ododo, an All Progressives Congress (APC) governor, dressed similarly to his counterparts from the opposition party.
Among the PDP governors pictured with Ododo were Bala Mohammed (Bauchi), Ahmadu Fintiri (Adamawa), Siminalayi Fubara (Rivers), Sheriff Oborevwori (Delta), Godwin Obaseki (Edo), Peter Mbah (Enugu), Dauda Lawal (Zamfara), and Caleb Mutfwang (Plateau).

The fact that the photo was taken in Taraba State, where PDP governors had gathered to issue a communique addressing the internal crisis within their party, has fueled speculation about Ododo’s involvement with the opposition leaders at this time.
Some social media users even speculated that Ododo, who recently won his gubernatorial dispute case at the Supreme Court, might be planning to defect to the PDP.
However, Kingsley Fanwo, Kogi State’s Commissioner for Information and Communication, clarified the situation. In a post on X, Fanwo explained that Governor Ododo was in Taraba to attend the wedding of Governor Kefas’ daughter.
He wrote: “The Chief Servant of Kogi State, His Excellency Alh Ahmed Usman Ododo, flew out just hours after his Supreme Court victory to attend the wedding of the daughter of the Taraba State Governor, His Excellency Agbu Kefas, in Taraba.
“The wedding was also attended by captains of industry and other governors from across the country. Governor Ododo wishes the newlyweds a happy married life.”
