A Governor without Deputy Governor, no functioning house of Assembly, so who is he handing over the leadership of the state to?

Maybe commissioner of Police

amaechi1:


Did you read the post. He was asked to stay back and clear the worker salaries issues. Initially was corruption and economy was your complain. Now. It only economy. We are moving forward then.

Please shut it, the FG has no right whatsoever to stop a governor from travelling. Geez, what is this country turning into with citizens like you

Ppl won't see that part that he is APC governor , if it were to be PDP governor now they will be shouting witch hunting ... Let us support this government , they meant well than the past admistrations

san316:
See hypocrisy. If it is a pdp governor, they will say it is witch hunt. Now everyone is forming democrats. Nonsense.

This is a trash post. This is not about PDP or APC, as a matter of fact, it is the APC ediots that are supporting this high handedness from the FG.

Let me say this is a gross abuse of power. Is it only kogi state that is owing backlog of salary ? Virtually all south west states(except lagos) and some northern states re owing staffs. Its the office of the Governor that owes and not Mr. Yahya Bello. He should not be denied his constitutional right to travel to Saudi for lesser hajj.After all he was not travelling on official assignment but for personal ,for which he is to foot all expenses from his purse and ntg kogi state govt. purse.
The likes of Aregbesola,Ayo fayase,olusegun mimiko,ibikunle amosun and ajumobi,all are debtors n have been travelling abroad. Why is bello case exceptonal? or is it part of APC agenda that the Governor of any state owning workers shud be disallowed from travelling abroad.
I Hereby advise Prof. Osinbanjo that beheading the head is the solution to headache. he needs to reverse his decision. GOVERNOR YAHYA BELLO must be allowed to travel to Saudi Arabia to perform his obligation as a Muslim.
Over to you zombies

Another trash post, do you support the FG in such brazen high handedness in a democratic settings ?

gare:


Well I am looking beyond Bello not paying salaries, I know that is not a good thing, but I don't think Federal Govt has the power to stop Governors from travelling, these are all signs of dictatorship, we should not all this to continue, I am not holding brief for the governor's.

But once we see a bad process we should speak against it, there are better ways to make the Governor sit up, but by restricting is movement, that's wrong, he is not a criminal, he should not be treated that way.

Very apt post. It's so sad the APC minions online don't see anything wrong with this bad precedence.

Corruption evrrywhrr

This must be a comic relief. Is the country this bad? Tell me it is a joke. In a federating state? Guess what, some people will support this reckless use of power.

am sorry to insult u.

But, are u Mad? I mean, are u PLAIN, F*C.KING MAD?

Do you know what it means to be the chief security officer of the state? The governor is the chief security officer. Where is his sense of priority? his state is in crisis. Salaries have not been paid. Pots of food is being stolen from the fire while still cooking, people eat amala with red oil alone (the depth of poverty, depravity and hunger) and a governor could still find the funds to go on on something as unimportant as a lesser hajj (YES, I SAID UNIMPORTANT B'COS AM SURE THIS IS NOT HIS FIRST TIME OF GOING FOR THE HAJJ)
where is his sense of priority, leadership and probity?

I repeat my question: are u Plain fuckin.g mad or are u just daft?

Once again, sorry for insulting u.

dont forget this is a first time governor that should be seeking to impress his people. if he is already this bad, what will he do in his second tenure?

bejeiodus:
This sounds like a joke from Basketmouth...The constitution doesn't give the Presidency such powers. Besides, we practice a federal system of government with its essential feature of separation of power. That said....When a man finds himself in a position he doesn't merit, he always seeks out ways to abdicate his responsibilities. Faleke should be in that seat, every Kogite knows that!

Which constitution are you talking about? You see, the problem with Nigerians is we don't read, we don't find out real issues but open our mouths always to blab. All governors and ministers are supposed to get clearance from the Presidency before travelling. Try and make proper use of your brain, its lying fallow.

Aviero:

Bello is yet to do right in the State. The State University has been on strike for over 3 months now. He hasn't done anything reasonable about it. Some LGs in the State are also on strike. The State is in shambles already. So I wonder where he's going to.

Secondly, he has no deputy. And there are no appropriate agencies.

If a governor refuses to use his brain, Buhari must by all means force him to use it.

And next time, if you know nothing about a situation, just stay quiet, okay?

How i wish you said this when Boko Haram was killing people, NDA is destroying pipeline and the Fulanies are killing in the other side, but the Buhari you just mentioned was busy travelling the whole world.

The question is 'does the president have the constitutional powers to stop a sitting governor from travelling'. That is the pertinent question this whole issue if true, is raising. It is important to note that the unrestrained exercise of power is the classical definition on tyranny. If the President has overstepped his boundaries, that is clearly a ground for impeachment of the President. Can someone take an oath with the Koran to abide by the provisions of the 1999 constitution during the swearing in exercise, and then turn around less than 14 months into his tenure to start denigrating the constitution which is the only basis for him to be in Aso-Rock. Would the President claim not to know what was in the constitution when he was taking his oath of office? It is important for the national assembly and judiciary to synergize in rising up to their responsibilities in the defense of our constitutional democracy before anarchy becomes the order of the day.

Did you just say reckless use of power? This is quite unintelligent of you and indeed shameful

So a governor have to get clearance from the president before he can travel.
How low will Buhari go in his self-righteous dictatorship ?

mondob2k:
Na wa o. Even former Military Heads of States go fear the this regime.

I thought there is freedom of movement... What crime did he commit?
Do they knw the instructions he left with his deputy and the appriopriate agency?

Buhari face ur own work. Our Economy is dying.

guy keep quiet. you don't know what you are saying. Why will a governor travel Wen labour is on strike because of unpaid salary. the state university lecturers are on strike too and you now in support of such a man to leave the country. Who knows when he will return and mind you the deputy has no say understand this

@ the bolded:
Are u RETAR.DED?

It is only you who does not realise that even when a governor shits in his toilet, the state government re-imburses him for shitting.
Every goddamn thing the governor and his family does in that office is paid for by the state.
please stop this sycophancy and get a life.
This governors need to be called to order in a very drastic way. It does not harm to start from yahaya bello

I Just Hate This Man...

Know nothing? I pity u and all those who liked your comment. mumu na una be. ask who is Hon Simon Achuba in Kogi State. And also no appropriate agency abi? No Ministry of Finance and what is the work of the Commissioner.

To move dis country 4ward dre is need 2 encourage positive values in leadership, dis country is 2 backward 4 God's sake.
Ekweremadu was quick to write Europe & America coz of his trial but failed to learn from d same people dat respect 4 rules is paramount in leadership, at least Jefferson didn't write Nigeria wen he was sentenced to 13 years imprisonment after bribing Atiku, check treads & u will see people hailing him, i wonder if dey don't know we r destroying r Society by encouraging bad leadership values. dat is nt d subject here but a recent example, governors & heads of states in countries we always run to 4 help will cancel official trips 4 one-tenth of wat is going on in kogi state, but r dear governor chose a religious trip wen he has not resolved a 3months old ASUU strike, Labour has just declared strike, banks refused 2 render services as a result of unreasonable executive decision & lots more going on in kogi state, am very sure some hospital patients would have died 4 lack of funds, how many examples can i imagine, yet sm persons problem is federal govt order dat d said governor shd go resolve issues in his state. If d governor in question is forced 2 do d right thing who benefits, d president or people of kogi state? If not dat wen d guilty suffers' d innocent shares of it, i wud av said a chunk of Nigerians doesn't deserve gud leadership.

I dont know how old you are but in Yoruba land (Ijebu) land where I was born, a child is cursed when he or she insults an elder. You could make more sense without insult. I know you will say you are only asking question. Unless you are older than me and you must be at least 46 years to claim that and even at that you dont just insult people you do not know just because you are not mature enough to tolerate their opinions.

You could have made your points without resorting to abuse....I would have engaged you in some objective discourse of this issue, but your language lacks a modicum of decency.

thunder74:

An elected governor in a federating state? Can't believe I am reading this. He is not a minister or an appointee of the President. He is the head of a federating state. The presidency does not have the power.

o boy keep quiet. a man whose house is on fire shouldn't go about chasing rats. His owing workers and university lecturers.

Mylove55:
but d master doesnt own salary, and he is not competing in owing salary,

Salary has no business with this. The master doesn't just want anyone to compete with him on international travels.

Talking about owing salary, where do you work? I work in a federal govt parastatal, to be precise, a parastatal under the ministry of Sci and tec, and I'm being owed.

Dnt say what you dnt know or dnt say what u r seeing from a painted picture.

wrong defintion of a criminal. anybody Who withholds people's money against their wish is a criminal and deserves to be treated as one.

You may not be a child but you must be older than me and you must be at least 46 years to claim that and even at that you dont just insult people you do not know just because you are not mature enough to tolerate their opinions.

Bello was given the bail out fund and yet he hasn't paid workers. That's where his case differs from the rest. The money is with him and within his power to pay. So I support Prof on this

PMB givng his vice so much power these days! Pple shud learn nw that the VP is nolonger a mere commissioner!
