Kogi Deputy Gov. Fears For His Life

Kogi State Deputy Governor, Simon Achuba, has called on the Inspector General of Police to restore his security aides withdrawn since February 15. 

Deputy Governor Achuba, who briefed journalists at his official residence in Lokoja, said his life is in danger without security. 

Achuba also condemned speculations that he has pitched a tent with the opposition party, describing the rumor as ridiculous. 

He said his office had been rendered ineffective following the non-disbursement of his official allowances and interest for over one year. 

Achuba frowned at the recent unrest in parts of the state especially, Kogi Central. 

The Deputy Governor also said he was embarrassed by recent allegations credited to the Governor’s Chief of Staff accusing him of diverting funds earmarked for road construction. 

He expressed concern that since resuming from his two months leave, he was yet to enjoy the usual access to electricity and other basic amenities.
