* I Am Not Aware Of The Protest - Yahaya Bello

Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

Ahead of the November 2 governorship election in Kogi state, some members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state will today storm the National Headquarters of the party in Abuja to protest alleged plans by the party leadership to deny the state governor, Yahaya Bello the party’s ticket.

Daily Independent gathered that the protesters, who are staunch loyalists of the governor are drawn from the 21 local government areas of the state.

Speaking to Daily Independent, Jonah Adavi, one of the protesters who claimed to be a card-carrying member of the party said he would join other loyalists of the governor to “caution Comrade Adams Oshiomhole and other members of the party’s National Working Committee to refrain from carrying out the wishes of some powerful individuals outside the state who are hell-bent on denying Governor Bello a second term”.

According to him, some of them have already left Kogi for Abuja on Tuesday where they will be joined by indigenes of the state residents in Abuja.

“We are protesting because we don’t want the politics of Kogi to be determined by some outsiders who are not even residents in Kogi. Even before the primary, we are already getting feelers that Governor Bello would be denied the party’s ticket. That is what we don’t want”.

“If the party wants direct primary in Kogi, we are okay by it. If it is by delegates voting, we are also comfortable with it. If Yahaya Bello lost in a free and fair primary, we have no problem with that. After all, he didn’t win the primary in 2015 but God ordained him as the governor,” he said.

Reacting, Governor Bello who spoke through Onogwu Mohammed, his Chief Press Secretary (CPS) said he was not aware of the development, directing our correspondent to speak with the state executives of the party.

“We are not aware of that. Since they are not going for a government function, we cannot be in the picture. If it has to do with the party, then it is the party people that will be in the best position to explain, not the state government”.

On whether he has started reaching out to party leaders who are rumoured to be opposed to his reelection bid, Mohammed said the governor is focused on governance is eight months away and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has not given the go-ahead for campaigns in the state.

How are we sure it is not Yeye Bello who sponsored the protesters? Arrant failure of a youth

Arranged by Edward Onoja sponsored by Yahaya Bello organised by Kingsley Fanwo

kogi government has been planning and mobilization has been on in abuja and kogi since last week for the said protest,the statement credited to the government has a political undertone...however Bello has done nothing to deserved a return ticket if otherwise there is no need to stage a protect because his good work will definitely speak for him...Governor Yahaya Bello is big disgrace to Nigerian youths not only kogites because he has failed woefully...#Bellomustgooooo!

Very unfortunate state.

T

Another problem coming again just like IMO and Ogun state respectively

Tinubu must not allow bello to continue

yahaya bello a failure of a governor... the worst ever in the history of Nigeria

I thought with the way Bello is enslaving himself to Buhari all the time and everywhere, relecting him will just be simple.

This man losing will be one of the greatest thing that will happen to Kogi people

Yayaha is not sellable

Arrant nonsense. A Governor that has not commissioned any serious project for almost 4yrs clamouring for 2nd term ticket. Na God go punish GYB

Oshiomole should take it easy before he destroys the party

Who is fooling who ¿

Internal war looming.

Anything to move the nation forward.........is what we are after!

zicoraads:

I like your commentary on issues. You always try to be balanced and fair.

Thanks for the mention bro.
A better Nigeria is what we want.

This Black guy should return to EDo state where he came from.
Why must he meddle in people's business?

NothingDoMe:

Lol, attention seeker, Manna don notice and reply you at last.
Now start celebrating!

If Bello gets the ticket then pdp might as well come adopt my dog candidate owing to the fact that even a dog or cat can beat Bello.

Ejimagifty:
Tinubu must not allow bello to continue

Bello must not come back but wait o. Is Tinubu now from kogi state or what. Who is he to decide for kogi people, I don't get it.

Who be Yamaha bellow?


I foresee same thing that happened in IMO state playing out in kogi.

If buhari is good for kogiites, why not yahaya bello. The people of kogi especially the igalas deserve whatever misery they are experiencing. Yahaya Bello carry go.

Nice, he should be made to feel the heat.

When he was flexing muscle do deny another person his seat (Dino), didn't he know that a day like this will come?

In as much as he doesn't like SDM, but the latter has actually commissioned more project than him, a sitting governor.

Hello shouldn't just be denied ticket, he should be made to vomit every yam he swallowed.

You can not insult the collective intelligence of Kogi people because I am sure that there are many people better than Yamaha Barrow.


One good turn deserves another! But one bad turn deserves ellah!

Tuehh!!!!

Nonsense and ingredient
