The incumbent Governor of Kogi
State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello who won the All Progressive Congress (APC) primary
held on Thursday, 28th August has promised instant reforms. The youthful Governor while acknowledging the
endless stream of cheering supporters promised to embark on immediate road
rehabilitation, pay salaries of civil servants and bring pensioner’s plight to
an end. The Governor appealed to the
supporters that victory is not yet complete and they should work in harmony to
ensure Peaceful election in November. Yahaya Bello had polled 3,224 votes beating
10 other aspirants. A total of 3,500 delegates had participated in the exercise.
Governor Bello thanked the party faithful for giving him another opportunity to
revolutionize the State and called on his opponents to join hands with him to
move the State forward.
How the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan frittered away the nation’s scarce resources is beginning to spill out – despite the shrill insistence by ex-Finance Minister, Okonjo Iweala that the records sheet were clean! Information pieced together by our investigators show that several paramilitary Agencies under the Federal Ministry of Interior shared a record 10 billion each for the purpose of influencing the March 28 General Elections in favour of the defeated incumbent. However, things did not go down well with the ranks and file during the sharing. Outgoing Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Boss (name withheld) was said to have misappropriated the huge booty by allegedly pocketing 5 billion for himself, while declaring the other half (5 billion) as the sum total. The bone of contention was that while the rank and file received 40,000 each some key associates close to the big guns went home with a hefty slice. Causing the rumble.
