The Kogi State Government has dismissed a report claiming that 25 political officials were sacked, describing it as “baseless” and “mischievous”.
According to the press release signed by the Commissioner for Information andm Communications,Hon Kingsley Fanwo clarified that only one Special Adviser was relieved of his duties, contrary to reports claiming that 25 political officials were sacked.
The statement reads, “Ordinarily, such blatant falsehood would not deserve a response. However, its circulation in some quarters makes it necessary to set the record straight.
“For clarity, only one Special Adviser was relieved of his duties, strictly on the basis that his services were no longer required.”
“No other aide was removed, and certainly not for reasons related to political affiliation or association.
“It is important to emphasise that the Kogi State Government has no political dispute with anyone”.
“The administration is committed to separating governance from politics, and its singular focus is the continued development and greatness of Kogi State.”
“The Government of Kogi State holds Hon. James Abiodun Faleke in the highest esteem and maintains a cordial and productive relationship with the distinguished federal lawmaker, a proud and illustrious son of Kogi State.”
“We therefore urge the public to disregard the falsehood being spread by individuals whose stock-in-trade is mischief and unnecessary tension. Kogi State remains peaceful, united, and firmly on the path of progress.”he concluded.
