Rashida Bello, wife of the governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, has held a small party to celebrate the emergence of Edward Onoja as the state’s deputy governor.
Mr Onoja was sworn in on Monday following confirmation of his appointment by the house of assembly.

Mrs Bello, however, shared photos of herself with Onoja’s wife, Mercy, and others on Instagram late Monday celebrating the couple’s new status.
“Priceless moment, congratulations to my friend and deputy Her Excellency Mrs Mercy Ejura Onoja,” she wrote.
Onoja replaces Simon Achuba who was impeached last Friday on three grounds of criminal indulgence, financial misappropriation, and non-performance.
Mr Achuba had accused Bello of being after his life.

He alleged that Bello sent gunmen to kill him, adding that the governor withheld the payment of his allowances amounting to N800 million.
Kogi lawmakers, however, claimed that Achuba’s allegations, actions, and utterances amounted to gross misconduct.
