Kogi speaks on rumour of creating Office of Immediate Past Governor
By Jeffrey Agbo
Kogi State Government has debunked the rumour of creating the Office of Immediate Past Governor in the Government House.
This comes just days after Ahmed Ododo took control of the state from Yahaya Bello. They are both members of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a press statement issued on Tuesday by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Oladele Nihi, it was noted that the false news should be disregarded as the handiwork of mischief makers who have been thrown into confusion by the unprecedented achievements of Bello.
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.”
