Member of the House of Representatives, representing Ikeja Federal Constituency, James Abiodun Faleke, has dismissed as false a media report alleging that he was involved in a purported one-term agreement concerning the governorship of Kogi State.
Faleke refuted the report published by online platform TrackNews, which claimed that the Presidency had directed former Governor Yahaya Bello and Governor Usman Ododo to honour a one-term arrangement in the State, allegedly with his involvement through a Statement on his verified X formerly Twitter handle.
Faleke in the Statement described the report as entirely unfounded, stressing that he was never part of any discussion, arrangement or agreement relating to a one-term deal in Kogi State.

“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,” he said.
He added that at no time was he directly or indirectly involved in such an agreement.
According to him, the publication had triggered numerous calls and messages seeking clarification, prompting him to issue a formal response.
Faleke therefore urged the public to disregard the report, describing it as false, misleading and lacking any factual basis.
“The story is a fabrication and should be disregarded in its entirety,” he said.
