This clarification was contained in a press release signed by the Special Adviser to Kogi State Governor on Media and Strategy, Abdulmalik Abdulkarim.
According to Abdulmalik, Hon. Achuba, a one time Vice Chairman of Ibaji Local Government Area, is a seasoned administrator with diverse experience in Local Government administration and legislative governance.
“It is also instructive to note that the choice of Achuba from the political camp of the late Prince Abubakar Audu was not only an expression of respect for the late elder statesman, but a timely ethnic balancing move which has been the pillar of the Bello Administration”, he said.
“The Governor has displayed capacity to cement the state into a united force that is capable of de-emphasising ethnic or religious bigotry, to become an economic giant in the country.
Abdulmalik described as unfortunate the reports of not giving access to journalists access to cover the swearing in of the Deputy Governor.
“No such reports were brought to our notice and we believe security operatives attached to the Government House are professional enough to understand the role of media in the drive of Governor Bello to reposition the state for greatness.
“We however want to underscore our readiness to work with the media and ensure we create for them, a good working environment to thrive and help the society.
