The newly inaugurated Governor of Kogi State, Usman Ododo has said to have approved the establishment of the “Office of the Immediate Past Governor” in the state.
According to the purported approval letter to the effect of the new establishment, the ‘Office of the Immediate Past Governor’ will be domiciled in the Kogi state Governor’s office and the Immediate Past Governor of the state will operate the office daily.
The newly established office will make the immediate past Governor of Kogi state, Yahaya Bello the pioneering holder of the office and will allow him to have day to day access to the running of Kogi state affairs by Governor Usman Ododo, the purported letter quoted.
The establishment of the office of the Immediate Past Governor may later leave the state in legal uncertainty as the establishment did not specify whether a former Governor is still entitled to be expressed as “Immediate Past Governor”, if any incumbent Governor is re-elected for the second time in office.
