| New Deputy Governor and wife |
Following
his screening and confirmation by the Kogi State House of Assembly, Simon
Achuba, has been sworn in as the Deputy Governor of the state.
The new
deputy governor is from Ibaji Local Government area of Kogi East senatorial
district.
Achuba’s
confirmation followed Governor Bello’s letter to the Assembly seeking the
confirmation of Achuba as his deputy.
While
screening Achuba, the House without asking him a single question, quickly
confirmed him by asking him to ‘take a bow and go.’
Achuba,
52, a two-term House of Assembly member between 1999 and 2007, was a former
Deputy Speaker in his second term.
Achuba
was later sworn in at the banquet hall of the government House in Lokoja.
Speaking
with journalists after his confirmation, Achuba said he would use his political
experience to collaborate with the governor in building a virile state and
development to all the sectors of the state.
