Usman Ododo, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Kogi state, visited the family of Khadijat Yahaya, a female APC member who was allegedly killed by thugs associated with SDP Governorship candidate Murtala Yakubu in Kotonkarfe.
His first visit was to the Palace of the Ohimege of Kotonkarfe, HRM Alh. Abdulrazak Isa Koto, where he expressed his sorrow over Khadijat’s death.
He remembered Khadijat as a peace-loving woman committed to Kotonkarfe’s development.
He 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, Alhaji Ododo expressed shock at what happened and sympathised with the family, saying the entire APC family was mourning the death of Khadijat.

A leader of the party from the Local Government, Hon. Saliu Akawu, thanked the Governorship candidate for the visit.
Speaking on behalf of the family, Angulu said the conduct of Ododo showed he was a compassionate leader who would always identify with his people.
Angulu said the late Khadijat was a very peace-loving person whose life was cut short by evil men.
The Ohimege of Kotonkarfe also used the opportunity to thank Governor Yahaya Bello for restoring electricity to Kogi Local Government Area.
