Yahaya Bello Sworn In As Kogi Governor Without A Deputy

It is the first time in Nigeria’s political history that an elected governor would be inaugurated without a deputy.

The North-Central state had made another history late last year when a leading governorship candidate, Abubakar Audu, died before its governorship election was concluded, throwing the state into what appeared a constitutional logjam.

 The man nominated by the All Progressives Congress to be Mr. Bello’s deputy, James Faleke, made good his threat not to present himself for swearing in with the governor.
He was conspicuously absent at Wednesday’s ceremony, and no replacement was announced at the event.
