Contrary to reports that Governor Yahaya Bello has been incapacitated and hospitalized over undisclosed health challenges, the Kogi state government said the Governor only sustained a minor foot injury on his left foot while alighting from his official vehicle, stressing that the leg had since been bandaged by a doctor.
The Director General, Media and Publicity to the governor, Kingsley Fanwo in a statement issued on Tuesday said the governor was neither hospitalized nor incapacitated.
“The Governor missed his footing last Friday, March 30, 2018, while alighting from a vehicle and injured his left foot. He was treated by his doctors, who bandaged the leg and discharged him.
“We thank all the Governor’s supporters and well-wishers who reached us to inquire after his wellbeing. His Excellency is doing very well and will be at work as usual after the Easter holidays.
“Once again, the Governor sends his best wishes to Kogites for the Easter Season and beyond,” the statement read.
