By Ngbede James

In response to circulating rumors on various social media platforms, the government of Kogi State has swiftly refuted claims that Governor Usman Ododo has sanctioned the establishment of an “Office of the Immediate Past Governor” for Alhaji Yahaya Bello.

A press release signed by Oladele John NIHI, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Ododo, categorically dismissed the story as a “concoction of psychotic mischief makers.

“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 realization that the good people of Kogi State sincerely appreciate this,” the press release stated.

The government acknowledged the media’s discernment in recognizing the falsity of the report and commended their restraint.

He equally urged the public to exercise caution and fact-check information before spreading potentially misleading news.
