You are feeding the public with lies, PDP accuses Governor Bello

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has accused Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello of “feeding the public with lies”, saying the governor has nothing on ground that points to economic growth in the State, Our Kogi State Correspondent reports.

Kogi State PDP in a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Bode Ogunmola, claimed Governor Bello is disregarding the laid down rules and procedures in carrying out government business.

Ogunmola said, “Our great party, the Peoples Democratic Party PDP, Kogi State chapter has watched with dismay the ongoing emasculation of the socio-economic development of the state under the Yahaya Bello led administration. Apart from outright disregard for laid down rules and procedures in carrying out government business, Governor Yahaya Bello has been feeding the public with lies through his propaganda machinery. Nothing on ground in Kogi State points to economic growth. In fact, the spending of the state funds on frivolities with reckless abandon is seriously disheartening.”

The state main opposition party also condemned the recent political rally held in Okene where over 10,000 PDP members reportedly decamped to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

“Unfortunately, the recent absurdity promoted by INEC in the case of double registration involving Governor Yahaya Bello has emboldened him to violate another electoral law with the recent political rally he organized in Okene, purportedly to receive food is ready politicians from PDP to his party. Despite the huge resources the state expended on hiring the rented crowd, the programme was a total failure, reflecting the displeasure of his own people with his style of administration. It is certain that the people of central senatorial district are highly dissatisfied with abysmal performance of Yahaya Bello as governor of the State,” Ogunmola added.

The PDP Publicity Secretary enjoined INEC and other relevant agencies to call on the governor and his factional APC members to order.

It warned that they should desist from flouting the law of the land and stop wasting the common patrimony of the people of the State on political jamboree at a time when the INEC had not permitted political rallies in the State.

“We call on our supporters in the state to be wary of the Greek gifts being distributed by the Governor and his cronies to deceive and manipulate some undiscerning minds to join their failed political journey, a journey that has inflicted much pain on the people in the last one and half years”?, he said.

He called on the ruling party in the state to focus on the payment of salaries of workers and the entitlement of pensioners in the state, noting that a government that fails to cater for the welfare of its workers and the infrastructural and educational development of the State is certainly a failed government.
