Kogi governor clarifies ‘unpaid’ workers salaries, rumoured defection
The Director General of Media and Publicity to the Governor of Kogi State, Kingsley Fanwo, stated this in Takete Ide Amuro in Mopamuro Local Government Area while briefing journalists after APC stakeholders’ meeting in the ward.
“We are not in any power play with labour. We will continue to appreciate their understanding and we pledge to clear all arrears as soon as possible.” On the rumoured decamping of the governor to Accord Party, Mr Fanwo said the promoters of the rumour failed to “rehearse their falsehood properly.”In his words, “It is laughable to insinuate that a governor that just led our party to landslide and historic victory in the 2019 general elections is about to abandon his bungalow to rent a hut.
“The people spreading those rumours are political comedians with lazy minds. They are conceding defeats with such cheap jokes.” His words: “You can see the executives with me here. These are the people who will determine who flies our party ticket in November. The person they know is GYB and they will go all out to give him a second term.
“They could not stand the truth. But we shall show them our security architecture is capable of exposing their evil plans against government officials in the state.
