BEWARE OF FAKE AND INCITING NEWS AHEAD OF THE KOGI GUBER ELECTION
- The Kogi State Government wishes to draw the attention of the general public to the antics of mischief makers and ethnic bigots to stoke the flames of ethnic resentment, division, and hate by agents of political desperation who are bent on destroying the unity and peace enjoyed by the State.
- Their unintelligent approach has been to push ethnically divisive words and attribute the same to Governor Yahaya Bello to incite certain ethnic groups against his person and his administration. These statements are not only false but also an ignominy of dragging our state back to the conquered era of ethnic chauvinism.
Governor Yahaya Bello through his actions, projects, appointments, and unifying leadership credentials, has succeeded in building the state into what politics cannot balkanize. We remain a united and prosperous state. - We urge members of the public to look out for and ignore those inciting falsehoods as well as report those who circulate them to law enforcement agencies. It is the handiwork of politicians who do not have the interest of the state at heart.
- Until his last day in office, Governor Yahaya Bello will continue to work hard to improve livelihood in the state, keep the people united and continue to serve all Kogites irrespective of their religion, ethnicity, and political beliefs. What binds us together is stronger than the desperate wishes of the enemies of the state.
