Its a good sight to behold, and good opportunity to the lady ADC to give good representation of what women can do even better.

A female ADC to a male monster? This is definitely a mistake and should not be encouraged.

However, the Chief Press Secretary to the Kogi State Governor Mr Onogwu Muhammed debunked the alleged domestic rift.
He said
“Our attention has been drawn to an online publication titled ‘Trouble in Kogi State as the First Lady, Rashida Bello, allegedly moves out of government house’.
“For lack of formidable tool of distractions, the online medium struggling hard for traffic has come out with a concocted falsehood alleging a crack in the household of Gov. Yahaya Bello. ,
“The said publication laced with lies and crooked fallacy detailed how the First Lady, Hajia Rashida Bello, has moved out of the Government House in what the merchants of mischief painted as a revolt against the governor.
“This reaction is coming out not in reverence of the amorphous medium but a call to the general public to disregard as tissue of lie the malicious fabrication,” he said.
