Kogi State Governor, Ahmed Usman Ododo, has lauded the cabals in his administration, describing them as instrumental to the successes recorded in his government.
Naija News reports that Ododo made the disclosure during a public event in his hometown on Sunday, noting that the leader of his cabal was approved by his predecessor, former Governor, Yahaya Bello.
Ododo openly admitted belonging to a cabal and praised the effectiveness of those working with him.
According to the Governor, effective teamwork, regardless of how it is labelled, should be encouraged if it delivers results.
Ododo said he was proud of his cabale, stressing that one of its achievements was the project billed for commissioning at the event.
He said, “I want to formally appreciate the leader of my own cabal. I was a member of a cabal before, but our own cabal could not perform the way this present cabal is working.
“If any cabal can work like this, I think we should even have multiple cabals, as many as we can.
“I am proud to tell you that I have a cabal. One of the achievements of having a cabal is what we are about to commission here today.”
“The leader of my own cabal, approved by His Excellency Alhaji Yahaya Bello, is Hajiya Dr Habibat Tijjani Aliyu, FCMA.”
According to the governor, the group includes key government officials, including the Accountant-General, Auditor-General, party chairman, Special Adviser on Protocol, and the Commissioner for Local Government Affairs.
