Alhaji Akaba,a one time member , kogi State House of Assembly (Ajaokuta State Constituency),expressed disappointment over the way some political actors in Kogi Central handled the situation, warning that their actions could have deepened division among the people, if not for Governor Ododo’s timely intervention.
