In Kogi, Fancy Media Team endorse Tinubu, Ododo for Second Term

…..Says Gov Ododo’s security measures have stabilized communities

The Fancy Media Team (FMT), a network of media volunteers supporting the Kogi State Government’s policies and programs, has officially endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo for continuation in office beyond 2027.

This endorsement was declared at the conclusion of a two-day Media Engagement and Capacity Building Workshop held in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital, which included participants from various sectors across Kogi State such as public affairs analysts, government representatives, civil society groups, and the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) Kogi chapter.

FMT praised President Tinubu for his “people-centered leadership, bold economic reforms, and infrastructure drive” nationwide.

They also commended Governor Ododo’s administration for its achievements in infrastructure, education, healthcare, agriculture, and youth empowerment.

In particular, the group highlighted Governor Ododo’s proactive security measures and peacebuilding efforts that have helped stabilize communities across the state.

Leader of the Fancy Media Team, Sanni Abubakar Suleiman, in his address described the workshop as “a defining moment” for the group and a platform to deepen its commitment to the vision of the Ododo administration.

“The Fancy Media Team was born out of conviction, not convenience,” Suleiman said. “We believed in Governor Ododo’s leadership long before many others did. Our mission has always been to promote his vision of hope, unity, and progress for Kogi State.”

He credited the group’s financier, Hon. Siyaka Yakubu Adabenege (popularly known as Fancy), for his support and mentorship. “He believed in us when others overlooked us, financed us when others doubted our relevance, and inspired us when we felt weary,” Suleiman added, describing him as “a humanitarian and visionary leader.”

Suleiman also appealed to Governor Ododo to support the team in its ongoing efforts to project government activities and train young people in digital communication.

In his goodwill message, Hon. Siyaka Yakubu Adabenege commended the team for its consistency and professionalism, noting that FMT has become “a household name in Kogi and beyond” due to its innovative media engagement.

He reaffirmed his commitment to youth development and praised Governor Ododo’s inclusive governance style, emphasizing that “youth empowerment remains at the heart of the administration’s agenda.”

Adabenege said the team, which started as a volunteer network, has now grown into a registered organization with national visibility. He expressed confidence that the workshop would “further sharpen their skills in marketing the administration’s achievements.”

The two-day event featured keynote addresses by public affairs analyst Mr. Majeed Dahiru, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media, Hon. Ismaila Isah followed by interactive sessions.

Highlights included the unveiling of FMT’s maiden magazine and the presentation of certificates to participants.
