Simeon Achuba
The Kogi State House of Assembly has approved the nomination of a former Deputy Speaker of the State House of assembly, Mr Simeon Achuba, as the state’s deputy governor.
The approval was immediately followed by Achuba’s swearing-in behind closed doors as journalists were barred from the Banquet Hall of the Government House, the venue of the inauguration in Lokoja on Tuesday.
The newsmen, who had rushed from the State House of Assembly, where the deputy governor was screened, were denied access to the hall by the security personnel, who claimed they were acting on instruction not to allow journalists in.
