Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has confirmed injuring his leg while alighting from a vehicle on Friday.

Bello made the confirmation through a statement released by his spokesmen, Kingsley Fanwo, on Tuesday.

The statement was released to refute speculations that the governor was hospitalised and incapacitated.

“The Governor missed his footing last Friday March 30, 2018 while alighting from a vehicle and injured his left foot. He was treated by his doctors, who bandaged the leg and discharged him.

“We thank all the Governor’s supporters and well-wishers who reached us to inquire after his wellbeing. His Excellency is doing very well and will be at work as usual after the Easter holidays,” the statement said.
