Breaking : Governor Wada of Kogi
State is not Dead
by Yusuf Mohammed The social media has been awash with statements
about the governor’s health. Some rumor peddlers
have reported that Kogi State governor Idris
Ichala Wada is in India receiving treatment for
mental illness.
The trend took a dismal dimension on Wednesday
evening with claims that Wada is dead.
However, according to recent reports, the
governor is alive and he is not in India. A source
revealed that the governor is sick but it is not
mental illness. The Governor of Kogi State, Captain
Idris Wada is alive.
Sources close to the governor have confirmed this
morning that he is alive.
A source from the government house in Lokoja
(name withheld) has confirmed that the governor
is actually sick but not the speculated mental
illness.
The source further claimed that the
governor is not receiving medical attention in an
Indian hospital but in a US hospital.
Efforts to reach more officials have proved
abortive. Those who were reached pleaded for
anonymity.
Tongues have been wagging because it is
believed that the governor has not returned to the
country since he traveled immediately after the
Sallah celebration.
Moses Musa, a social commentator posted a
comment on the face book page of ‘Latest Kogi
News’ an online newspaper.
He said, “As at today he is the Governor of Kogi
state, the people should be briefed on his
whereabouts and state of health, in the absence of
that, the rumour mills will take centre stage. Where
are his information managers?
The comments by Kogi state citizens have been
unpleasant since the governor took ill.
Abdulmannan Adaji from Kogi state said,
“governor wada, I do not like you but I wish u
well and I advice you to change your ways.
Nuhu Alhassan Suleiman said, “This is another
Yaradua scenario.”
Abubakar Rajab, a former PDP chieftain and now a
member of the APC, lamented the negative
comments coming form Kogi citizens and advised
the people not to wish Wada bad no matter the
differences.
He said, “Good news that the governor is alive. My
people whatever our differences may be, we
should not wish our fellow human being bad. It is
so disheartening to hear the rumours people are
carrying about concerning the health of the
governor. I wish him a speedy recovery.”
In a similar vein, Ocheja Christian a social
commentator said, “I read with dismay the
contents of some posts and comments on Kogi
online groups about the governor of our dear
state, it all boil down to the pains many feel about
the governor, which on the surface seemed okay - but deep down it is repugnant to rejoice over the
misfortune of others.
The governor like all mortals can’t be immune to
sickness, it is normal for him to be ill as we all do; it
is disturbing to read some comments on this issue.
I am an advocate of service to our people and will
support if we criticize the governor on his policies
with alarming regularity instead of going personal and wishing for constitutional crisis for a state as
our.
