Settle Workers, Leave Lawmakers Re- election To Electorates – Group Slams Kogi Gov.

Kogi Patriotic Group (KPG), has urged Kogi

state Governor Yahaya Bello to face the

myriads of challenges confronting his

government and leave re-election of Federal

lawmakers to the electorates.

In a press statement signed by KPG’s image

maker, Abdul Abdul, the group described

comments credited to Bello on re-election of

Federal lawmakers from Kogi state as

laughable and shameful.

He said Governor Bello, who cannot install a

ward councilor or local government

chairman, lacks political experience to talk

about the re-election of Senators and

members of House of Representatives from

the state.

“Governor Bello’s primary task at the

moment is to face the myriads of challenges

confronting his unpopular government. He

should be pre-occupied with how to pay

workers and pensions who are being owed

about two years salaries and pensions. He

should leave re-election of federal

lawmakers to the electorates.

“He never contested as APC candidate or

win any election in Kogi but was installed

owing to collusion of Federal authorities,

INEC and judicial rascality.

“It is befuddling that a governor who cannot

install a ward councillor or local government

chairman is boasting about the re-election of

Federal lawmakers who are the mirror of the

defaced, decapitated and dilapidated state

owing to his maladministration.

“We are not speaking for the Federal

lawmakers but the positive impact of all of

them, in terms of lawmaking and oversight

functions, surpasses the inefficient, inhuman

administration of Governor Bello.

“We are not unaware of Yahaya Bello’s

desire to impose Federal lawmakers on Kogi

people in 2019, but he has forgotten that the

electorates’ desire to vote him out as Kogi

governor is a concluded arrangement by the

people,” he said.

The group reassured Bello that the re-

election bids of the Federal lawmakers, who

intend to return to the lower and upper

chambers, will continue to check mate his

satanic administration and finally throw him

out of Lugard House in 2019.
