- Not true – group
Kogi State Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Hon. Wemi Jones has disclosed to his supporters that he is the next Secretary to Kogi State Government.
It was reliably gathered that the Commissioner has been telling his supporters that because he singlehandedly brought Kogi State University to Kabba, Governor Yahaya Bello has assured him of appointing him as the next SSG.
Sources close to the Commissioner disclosed that in a meeting which took place between the Commissioner and his people from Kabba-Bunu, he was said to have assured them that he is the next SSG of the state.
However, a concerned group from Kogi West senatorial district has advised the incoming governor not to appoint somebody that is not capable of managing the position.
According to Comrade Joseph Taiwo, the spokesperson of Kogi West Concern Group for Better Government, Mr. Wemi Jones does not have the capability and capacity to manage the office.
In a statement issued he said the commissioner is using the establishment of the State University in Kabba as his sole achievement forgetting that Governor Bello made the promise during the ainauguration of his second tenure that he will established the University in Kogi West.
Taiwo appealed to Governor Yahaya Bello and the incoming governor, Alhaji Usman Ahmed Ododo, to appoint somebody that is intelligent and focused who is also accepted by the people of his constituency.
