FEARS are growing about the fate of Kogi State's Governor Yahaya Bello amid fears that he has been flown abroad for medical treatment after he has been absent from any public function over the last two weeks.
Over the last fortnight, Governor Bello has not been seen and all state functions have been put on hold, leaving deputy governor Simon Achuba, with the sole duty of receiving visitors on behalf of his boss. Sources close to government circles say the governor might have been flown abroad to treat an undisclosed ailment.
However, the governor’s spokesman Kingsley Fanwo, has denied that the governor is nursing any ailment. He urged the public to discountenance the rumour, describing it as lacking any iota of truth.
Mr Fanwo said: “My attention has been drawn to the spurious rumour that there are concerns over the health of the Kogi State governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello. I want to state clearly here for the avoidance of doubt that the rumour lacks any iota of truth and it is a reflection of the depth the enemies of Kogi State have gone in their desperate angst against fate.
“The governor is hale and hearty, healthy and unwavering in his vigour to make Kogi State the confluence of excellence. I urge all Kogites of goodwill to discountenance the rumour as His Excellency will return from his two weeks break on the 12th of November, 2016.”
