New Kogi Gov, Ododo, denies creating Office of immediate past governor in state house

A recent media report claiming Kogi State Governor Usman Ododo approved the establishment of an office for his predecessor, Yahaya Bello, within the Government House has been met with denial from the current administration.

On Monday, media outlets reported that Ododo granted Bello an office at the heart of state power, allegedly granting him continued daily access to the inner workings of the government. This announcement, coming just days after Bello’s handover of power on Saturday, generated immediate speculation and concern.

However, Governor Ododo’s camp has swiftly refuted the claims. Spokesperson Oladele John, in a statement, categorically denied the reported plan, calling it “completely false and unfounded.”
