A member of the House of Representatives, James Abiodun Faleke, has denied a media report linking him to an alleged one-term governorship agreement in Kogi State.
Faleke, who represents Ikeja Federal Constituency, dismissed the claim in a statement posted on his verified X (formerly Twitter) handle, describing the report by online platform TrackNews as unfounded and misleading.
The report had alleged that the Presidency instructed former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello and the current governor, Usman Ododo, to honour a one-term arrangement, purportedly involving Faleke. The lawmaker, however, said he had no knowledge of or involvement in any such agreement.
“For the avoidance of doubt, I state unequivocally that I never had any discussion, nor was I privy to any conversation, arrangement or agreement regarding a one-term deal in Kogi State or any related matter,” Faleke said.
He emphasized that he was never directly or indirectly involved in discussions concerning the governorship of Kogi State, adding that the publication falsely linked him to an issue he had no connection with.

Faleke noted that the report had generated widespread reactions, including calls and messages seeking clarification, prompting him to issue a formal response to set the record straight.
“The story is a fabrication and should be disregarded in its entirety,” he said, urging the public to treat the report with caution.
Describing the publication as lacking factual basis, Faleke warned against spreading unverified information that could mislead the public and create unnecessary political tension.
He reiterated his commitment to transparency and accuracy in public discourse, while urging media organisations and online platforms to uphold professional standards by verifying claims before publication.
