President Muhammadu Buhari received Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi state and Ahmed Usman Ododo, governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi state, in the Aso Rock villa.
Bashir Ahmad, presidential aide, tweeted pictures of the visit on Friday.
“President @MBuhari earlier today, received Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State accompanied by the APC Gubernatorial Candidate in the State, Hon. Ahmed Usman-Ododo, at the State House, Abuja,” Ahmad said.
Yahaya Bello, outgoing governor of Kogi, presented the flag bearer to the president.
Ododo was elected as the governorship candidate of the APC on April 14.
Patrick Obahiagbon, secretary of the Kogi APC primary election committee, said Ododo scored 78,704 votes to beat six other contestants.
