President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Right Hand Man, Honourable James Faleke, Clears The Air On Kogi 2027 Governorship Ambition

President Bola Ahmed

OpenLife Nigeria reports that Honourable James Faleke has cleared the air on his 2027 governorship aspiration in Kogi State.

The clarifications came against news about his governorship ambition tied to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s endorsement.

The clarification titled “Rebuttal of False Report on Alleged One-Term Agreement in Kogi State,” is reproduced below

I wish to categorically refute a report published by TrackNews, an online news medium, alleging that the Presidency directed His Excellencies, former Governor Yahaya Bello and Governor Usman Ododo, to honour a purported one-term agreement in Kogi State, in which I was allegedly involved.

For the avoidance of doubt, I state unequivocally that I never had any discussion, nor was I privy to any conversation, arrangement, or agreement regarding a one-term deal in Kogi State or any related matter. At no point in time was I a party to such an agreement, whether directly or indirectly.

Following the publication of this report, I have been inundated with numerous calls and text messages seeking clarification. I therefore find it necessary to state clearly and firmly that the report is entirely false, misleading, and without any factual basis. The story is a fabrication and should be disregarded in its entirety.
