2019: Bello will go to prison after serving as Governor in Kogi – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has
predicted that Governor Yahaya Bello will face
jail term after his tenure as Kogi State
Governor if he fails to give account for all the
money he collected on behalf of the people in
the state.
The Kogi State PDP Publicity Secretary, Mr
Bode Ogunmola stated this during an interview
with DAILY POST on Sunday.

Ogunmola who was reacting to the statement
credited to governor Bello that he borrowed
N10billion to pay outstanding salaries owed to
workers expressed worries on the
consequences of this on the future of the
confluence State.
His words, “For anybody to say they have
borrowed N10billion, when the time comes he
should show us the book. It’s as simple as
that. By the grace of God whenever we get to
the bridge all of us will be alive to witness it.
When he fails to give account of all the the
money borrowed on behalf of the people of
Kogi State, then he will face the consequences
“.
“But I can assure you that somebody will go to
prison for this because one day immunity will
no longer be there and he will be called to
account for his sins in the past.”
While commenting on the statement that Kogi
State is for President Muhammdu Buhari come
2019, Ogunmola admonished the President not
to be deceived by the political antics of
Governor Yahaya Bello, saying he has lost his
political grounds in Kogi State.

According to him, “These are very critical and
terrible time in the lives of this country
especially that of Kogi State. As I talk to you
now we are buying petrol in Lokoja for N230
per litre. In Benue State, herdsmen are killing
here and there. In the North East, Boko Haram
are striking and nothing is done to address the
situation.
“In River State, people are dying. Is that the
proper time for the governor to be talking? Who
will vote more for the President in 2019. I think
we are in a critical situation and that this
country needs alot of prayers and that we
should stop playing politics with the lives of our
people.
“How can governor Bello convince Kogites to
vote for Buhari in 2019 when their is hardship
everywhere? He should stop deceiving the
president just because he is looking for cheap
political favour.
“Bello knows himself that in his country home
which is the central part of the State, he can’t
deliver for Buhari. Workers are dying due to
lack of payment of salary.

“As it is today, pensioners are crying because
of lack of payment of entitlement . And the
governor will go to Abuja and begin to tell the
world who will vote more for the president. As
far as we are concern, during election time, we
will know who is on ground.
” Governing with mouth is very easy, but
translating it into practical terms becomes
difficult. Governor Bello knows that he is not
on ground politically. He knows that the people
of Kogi State are not with him. He knows that
he has offended the Civil Servants. He knows
pensioners are cursing him.”
