Reports Of Kogi Governor’s Attack False, Unfounded – Aide

The Director General on Media and Publicity,
Kingsley Fanwo has described as “blatant
falsehood”, reports by some group of “ rumour
peddlers” that the Governor was attacked when
he visited Kogi East to flag off a major road project
and also attend to issues of security of the people in the area. The Governor’s spokesman flayed the report while
fielding questions from journalists at Government
House, Lokoja, describing the architects of the
falsehood as people “imprisoned in ethnic cage
who have sworn not to see anything good in the
New Direction Administration of the present administration”. ”The people of Kogi East are wonderful people
who cherish what the Governor is doing to
develop the District. Insinuating that they attacked
a Governor who has brought development to
their domain is an insult to the sensibilities of the
good and great people of the District. “The Governor was given a heroic welcome in
Kogi East which is a clear indication that the ethnic
campaign by the enemies of the state failed. The
promoters of the rumour might have possibly paid
some hoodlums to attack the Governor. The
Governor was not attacked anywhere. It was a carnival atmosphere everywhere he went
yesterday in Kogi East. “He is the Governor of Kogi State and the people
of Kogi East have many reasons to support and
have confidence in their Governor. The Zone
currently has the Deputy Governor, Chief of Staff
to the Governor and many Commissioners among
others.
