Kogi Polls: Yahaya Bello Explains Demand On Aides To Show Ward Results

Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has denied political witch-hunt in the demand on his political appointees to show evidence of their performance in the recent governorship election in the state.

Responding to the controversy over a memo directed at top government officials to show returns on what he scored in their respective wards during the governorship election, Bello said the memo was meant for research purposes.

Speaking through the Director-General, Media and Publicity to the Governor, Kingsley Fanwo, the governor said:

“Our attention has been drawn to an internal memo illegally circulated on the social media and the mischievous meanings read into the memo.

“We wish to make it clear that the memo was nothing but a routine data collation for the purposes of research and planning. It has nothing to do with the falsetto of a falsehood that the memo was aimed at political vendetta.

“The Governor has intrinsic confidence in his outgoing aides as people of impeccable loyalty to the development of our dear State. Their incredible contributions to the electoral success of the Governor and the All Progressives Congress are not in doubt.

“Our research office will collate all the results and analyze them for planning. All the three Senatorial Districts gallantly stood in defense of our EBIGO concept as they saw a bigger picture of a united Kogi State.

“It was unscrupulous and petty for career pull downers to attribute such call to political vendetta.

Observing that the controversy was a plot by the opposition to “discredit our hard-earned victory,” he said:

“We know they have been striving to justify their historic failure at the polls. They said we were violent when they were the real perpetrators of violence. Their next line is to cause dissatisfaction among APC leaders and members, a plan which is dead on arrival.”
