Kogi State Governor, Ahmed Usman Ododo, has reacted to the Alleged of the establishment of the “Office of Immediate Past Governor” to be domiciled in the Government House.
In a statement signed on tuesday, by Oladele John NIHI Chief Press Secretary Kogi state Governor, said the immediate past Governor of Kogi State, is clearly aiming for higher national achievements, not clinging to a redundant position.
The statement read part, ”A FAILED STUDENT REPEAT A CLASS, ALHAJI YAHAYA BELLO PERFORMED EXCELLENTLY WELL DESERVING PROMOTION
“My attention has been drawn to a publication in some sections of the media inferring that His Excellency, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, Executive Governor of Kogi State approved the establishment of the “Office of Immediate Past Governor” to be domiciled in the Government House.
‘The idea of establishing an “Office of Immediate Past Governor” within the Government House is absurd. His Excellency Yahaya Bello, as the immediate past Governor of Kogi State, is clearly aiming for higher national achievements, not clinging to a redundant position. Creating such an office contradicts the essence of progress and forward-thinking leadership.
“Yahaya Bello’s track record in Kogi State speaks volumes about his commitment to development, making the notion of him seeking a symbolic past role implausible. The focus should be on encouraging leaders to contribute to the nation’s growth, not on concocting unnecessary positions that hinder their potential contributions on a broader scale.
It’s important to clarify that the Governor, His Excellency Ahmed Usman Ododo, has no such intentions to create the purported “Office of Immediate Past Governor.” This fallacious information appears to be the handiwork of mischief makers seeking to sow discord and mislead the public. It is crucial for the public to exercise discernment and not fall prey to such obvious lies that only serve to create unnecessary confusion and undermine the credibility of responsible governance.”
