Kogi Govt Debunks Rumour of Creating “Office of Immediate-past Governor”
The Kogi State government has described as absurd, the rumour of creating a new office for immediate past governor of the state saying that “only a failed student repeat class”, stressing that Yahaya Bello performed excellently, deserving promotion.
In a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to Governor, Oladele John Nihi on Tuesday and made available to journalists in Lokoja, he said Governor Ododo Usman has no intention of creating such office, urging the public to focus more on engaging the new government on development issues.
The statement reads: The attention of the Kogi State Government has been drawn to a mischievous report that the Governor of Kogi State, His Excellency, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, has approved the establishment of the “Office of the Immediate Past Governor” to be domiciled in the Government House.
The fake news should be disregarded as the handiwork of psychotic mischief makers, who have been thrown into confusion by the unprecedented achievements of our former Governor, His Excellency, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, CON, and the realisation that the good people of Kogi State sincerely appreciate this.
The laughable report was concocted to create disaffection and mislead the public but the authors failed woefully to confuse intelligent Nigerians.
We thank the media for exercising restraint and detecting, on their own, that the report was fake.
We, however, urge the general public to always fact-check before spreading fake news.
