Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has carpeted the Nigerian Senate for describing him as a threat to democracy.

He also told the senators to be careful in making sweeping and derogatory statements when sensitive matters were brought before them.

Bello, who spoke yesterday through his Director General, Media and Publicity, Kingsley Fanwo, was reacting to Wednesday’s plenary of the senate where he came under barrage of condemnations for his alleged involvement in the recent political violence unleashed on Senator Ahmed Ogembe and his supporters in Okene.

Fanwo, who cleared the governor of having any hands in the alleged violence, said an investigation had already been launched into the matter to unravel the perpetrators.

“I think it is high time the senate discovered that they are the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and not the senate of the senators.

“They should protect every Nigerian; including the Governor of Kogi State or Kaduna State or whichever state where they think their people are at loggerheads with their chief executives.

“They should be very careful in making sweeping statements. What happened in Kogi State was condemned. The Governor of Kogi State has invested billions of naira to ensure there is peace and security in the state.

“They should wait for police investigation. When that of Dino Melaye happened, the senators used all forms of language on their floor to condemn the governor and used derogatory statements against the people and the Government of Kogi State; only for investigations to now find out that the whole thing was concocted.

“Now, the same senator has been charged to court for misleading the police. If Dino Melaye could do that, who says that Ogembe cannot organise his own event and also sponsor thugs to cause crisis there so that they can finger the governor and position Kogi as an unsafe place?” Fanwo asked.

When I see people standing for the yeye bello and is wicked deeds, I cry for the people of that state

The worst governor in Nigeria who never contested or won any election. All he does is lick the as$ of his demi god in Aso villa & act as his errand boy. I was amazed when he was bowing down more than once for a mere party chairman Oyegun at a rally in Kogi. When Buhari farts you see Yaya Bello there, when Buhari is brushing his teeth (though I don't know if Buhari actually brushes) you see Bello there, when Yusuf Buhari returned from medical trip, suprisingly Bello was the only governor there in Aso villa to 'receive' him! Ah kilode?? Yaya Bello has no job to attend to Kogi government house?? I only understand this; he's doing ''the boy is good'' to show gratitude to Buhari and Oyegun for choosing him to grab the mandate of the man who defeated him in primaries. But Kogi people should quickly do the needful by voting out this Buhari as$licker.

Worst Governor in all of Nigeria.
Saddest thing is he is the youngest

How do you "clear" a man when you have only just set up an investigation?

This small boy governor sef.

Nutase:
Kogi dictator.

This the worst we ever had, self serving senators and our gullible cannot understand.

kimjongJezebel:



On behalf of the Niger Delta Youths, we reject Yahaya Bello. He's not representing us here in the Niger Delta.

He's representing the youths of other parts of the country

And you think those senators are the one representing you?

History and posterity will judge Bello and his gang of youthful maladministrators.

This are the worst senators since 1960
