The running mate of Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi state in the coming November 16 governorship election in the state, Edward Onoja, has been sworn in as the deputy governor of the state.
The swearing-in ceremony held at the Kogi government house on Monday. The ceremony followed his confirmation by the Kogi state House of Assembly.
Bello had sent the name of Onoja, his former chief of staff, to the assembly following the removal of Simon Achuba, his former deputy.
Achuba, who had described his impeachment as illegal is yet to react to this development or taken any legal action against his impeachment.
