The Kogi State Government has refuted the news making the rounds of a new office within the government house known as ‘Office of the Immediate Past Governor’.
According to the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Oladele John Nihi, the government labeled the reports as false and maliciously crafted to sow discord.
“This is the handiwork of mischief makers who are evidently unsettled by the exceptional accomplishments of the former Governor, His Excellency, Alhaji Yahaya Bello,” read the official statement.
Nihi said the rumour was misleading can not be true.
“The authors of this misleading report have failed abysmally in their attempt to confuse the discerning minds of Nigerians. We express gratitude to the media for demonstrating restraint and independently verifying the authenticity of the news, thereby exposing it as a malicious fabrication,” the statement further noted.
Governor Ododo’s administration remains focused on the continued development and progress of Kogi State, discrediting any attempt to distract the public with unfounded claims.
Governor Ododo urged Kogites to disregard such misleading information and urged the media to continue promoting facts that established unity and cohesion amongst the populace.
