    However, a concern group from Kogi west Senatorial district has advised the incoming governor not to appoint somebody that is not capable to manage the position.

    According to Comrade Joseph Taiwo the Spokeperson of Kogi West Concerned Group for Better Government, Mr. Wemi Jones does not have the capability and capacity to manage the office.
