New Kogi Government Clears Air On ‘Office of Immediate Past Governor’

The Kogi State Government has dismissed as mischievous claims that the new administration has created a new Office of the Immediate Past Governor supposed to be domiciled inside the Government House.

A statement by Oladele John Nihi, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo affirmed that the claim should be regarded as the handiwork of mischief makers and should be disregarded as such.

The revelation was first shared via the official social media handle of Usman Austin Okai, a prominent member of the opposition PDP and the party’s House of Representatives candidate for Dekina/Bassa constituency in the previous general election.

Okai who took to his official Facebook account, wrote;

He said:

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.
