Recall that Kogi state Deputy Governor,Edward Onoja promised in 2019 and 2020, but efforts to redeem his pledge for 2020 was rebuffed by him.
Sources discloses that the Deputy Govenor may have linked his unfulfilled promises to his current political travail, that will likely affect his chances of succeding his Boss,Governor Yahaya Bello.
This has made a good number of people lost trust and interest in the Igala Education foundation and word of the Deputy governor, Edward Onoja
