The Kogi State Government has urged citizens of the state and Nigerians in general to discountenance news making the waves that there was the creation of an office of immediate past governors, describing as a concoction of psychotic mischief makers.
The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Oladele John NIHI, said that according to the fake news, 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.
He added: “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.”
The spokesman further stated: “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.”
