A member of the House of Representatives, Hon James Faleke, has debunked the rumor that the Presidency directed former Kogi Governor Yahaya Bello and incumbent Governor Usman Ododo to uphold an alleged one-term agreement in the state.
He made this announcement on Tuesday in reaction to the report.
According to him, no discussion or agreement was ever held regarding a one-term deal in Kogi State or any related matter.
“For the avoidance of doubt, I state unequivocally that I never had any discussion, nor was I privy to any conversation, agreement, or arrangement regarding a one-term deal in Kogi State or any related matter,” he said.
He added that, following the publication of such a claim, he had received a series of phone calls regarding his alleged involvement in the deal.
“Following the publication of this report, I have been inundated with numerous calls and text messages seeking clarification.
“I therefore find it necessary to state clearly and firmly that the report is entirely false, misleading, and without any factual basis.
“The story is a fabrication and should be disregarded in its entirety,” he added.
