The Kogi State Government has debunked a report of sacking 25 political officials.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A press statement on Friday signed by Kingsley Femi Fanwo, Hon. Commissioner for Information and Communications, noted that the attention of the State Government has been drawn to a baseless and mischievous report alleging that the Government sacked 25 government officials over their alleged ties to certain political figures.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The statement reads, \u201cOrdinarily, such blatant falsehood would not deserve a response. However, its circulation in some quarters makes it necessary to set the record straight.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cFor 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.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cIt 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.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 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.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
