The Kogi State Government has debunked reports that Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo has approved the establishment of the ‘Office of the Immediate Past Governor’ in the state.
A statement issued by the Chief Press secretary to the Governor, Oladele John Nihi, described the reports as fake news.
“It is the handiwork of mischief makers, who have been thrown into confusion by the unprecedented achievements of the former Governor, His Excellency, Alhaji Yahaya Bello,” the statement said.
The statement further stressed that the fake report was concocted to create disaffection and mislead the public.
“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,” the statement added.
