By Boluwaji Obahopo

LOKOJA—The People’s Democratic Party, PDP,

in Kogi State has accused Governor Yahaya

Bello of deception, saying he should have told

the people the truth that his government had

no project to showcase, rather than pretend to

be celebrating the two-year anniversary in a

low key manner.

However, in a swift reaction, Kogi State

government said PDP’s reaction was because

the party was used to wasteful spending,

extremism and corruption.

Meanwhile, PDP, in a statement yesterday, by

Achadu Dickson, Director of Research and

Documentation, said: “It is unfortunate,

mischievous and criminal for Governor Yahaya

Bello’s administration to re-commission

projects completed and inaugurated by the

PDP administration of Idris Wada.

“It is a sham, shameful and sinful for the

Bello-led administration to want to particularly

re-commission the multimillion Naira mega

park at Felele and the Kogi State Diagnostic

Hospital in Lokoja, to mark its two-year

anniversary celebration.”

gallery.
