The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi State, Ahmed  Usman Ododo, has paid a condolence visit to the family of the female member of the party, Khadijat Yahaya, who was killed in Koton Karfe recently.

Ododo paid a courtesy visit to the Palace of the Ohimegye of Koton Karfe, His Royal Majesty Abdulrazak Isa Koto, yesterday, where he expressed sadness over the death of Khadijat.

He described the late Khadijat as “a woman of peace who was desirous of seeing the development of Koton Karfe.”

The APC candidate vowed to ensure justice for the deceased and her family.

Earlier, the spokesman of the Kogi State APC Campaign Council, Kingsley Fanwo, said the party had earlier suspended all campaign activities in honour of the slain Khadijat.

At the residence of the late Khadijat, Ododo expressed shock at what happened and sympathised with the family, saying the APC family was mourning the death of Khadijat.

A leader of the party from the local government area, Hon. Saliu Akawu, thanked the governorship candidate for the visit.

Speaking on behalf of the family, he said the conduct of Ododo showed he is a compassionate leader who will always identify with his people.
