PRESS RELEASE:
OFFICE OF THE KOGI STATE DEPUTY GOVERNOR
RE-DAVIES IJELE’S KOGI STATE GOVERNMENT ARREST INSPECTOR ISMAILA AND HIS GANGSTER NOW
The attention of the office of the Deputy Governor of Kogi State has been drawn to a horrendous post been peddled on the social media against the person of His Excellency, the Deputy Governor of Kogi State, Comrade Joel Salifu by one serial liar and self acclaimed Kogi state SDP Media manager.
Ordinarily there would have been no need to give a response to such an unsubstantiated publication from an individual like Ijele whom his party – SDP has publicly described as an imposter on its media image. But for the sake of the unsuspecting public it is good to squarely put Ijele were he belongs – gluttonous dungeon of lies.
It is worthy to note that the so call Isaiah Davies Ijele is yet to recover from the defeat of Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo against his master Muritala Yakubu Ajaka at the Supreme Court Abuja on August 23, 2024. He and his co-travellers in the dungeon of defeat are still licking their wounds and hence have no option but to embark on brazen lies against His Excellency, the Deputy Governor of Kogi State, Comrade Joel Salifu.
Let it be known that prior to his assumption of office, His Excellency, Comrade Joel Salifu is known as a peaceful statesman. As an elder in the church and a former union leader, his Excellency promoted peace and the welfare of the union members which he chaired. It is widely known that, his records in promoting peace and welfarism which catapulted him to the exalted position he has found himself today is without blemish.
The government of His Excellency, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo is a government which places the security of kogi people as its first agenda. It is on record that Since His Excellency came to power on January 27, 2024 the State has remained peaceful.
His Excellency Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo has made it abundantly clear that hoodlums and kidnappers have no hiding place in Kogi State. The governor has continued to empower the security architecture in Kogi State with zero tolerance to crime and criminalities. The position of the governor has made the state peaceful for national and foreign investments to thrive in the state.
While His Excellency Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo is doing his best in carrying out massive development and at the same time promoting peace in the state, it is appalling for one unknown Isaiah Davies Ijele to manufacture pictures and videos of a well known kidnapper who was killed during an operation some times 2023, and tagging it to Inspector Ismaila whom he said is going about looking for Muritala Ajaka’s supporters to kill at Ejule. To say the least, this is a very serious offence for Ijele to be peddling falsehood against His Excellency, Elder Salifu Oyiibo. If Isaiah Davies Ijele does not have anything to do after been rendered jobless from his propaganda machine of promoting falsehood for his paymaster, he should go and find what to do to better his life and that of his immediate family.
Kogi State is a leading peaceful state in Nigeria. We advice the miscreant parading as a media expert to stop peddling lies against His Excellency the Deputy Governor of Kogi State, Comrade Joel Salifu who is known nationally for peace.
Without mincing words, Isaiah Davies Ijele is hereby advised to tender an unreserved apology to His Excellency the Deputy Governor of Kogi State, Comrade Joel Salifu for spreading falsehood on social media against him. Failure to do this will leave the office of the Deputy Governor with no other option but to take legal action against him.
