Jackson Ude, a former Director of Strategy and Communications under President Goodluck Jonathan, has made serious allegations against Yahaya Bello, the former Governor of Kogi State. Ude claims that Bello is hiding in Niger Republic and is involved in the ongoing protests and looting in Northern Nigeria.
Ude’s statement reads:
“I dare Yahaya Bello to come out of hiding and face me, face investigation! No amount of name-calling or threats to my life would stop me from exposing the crooked Yahaya Bello… He is neck-deep in the protest turned looting in Northern Nigeria and the Russian flags that have flooded that part of the country.”
Ude also alleges that Bello looted Kogi State of over N80 billion and is currently hiding in the home of Nigeria’s Minister of State, Defense, Mohammed Bello Matawalle, in Niamey, Niger Republic.
Ude challenges Bello to come out of hiding and face him, threatening to release satellite images of Bello being smuggled out of Nigeria. He describes Bello’s hired press statement issuers as “hungry idiots” and says he has no time for them.
This development has sparked a heated exchange, with Ude daring Bello to come out and clear his name.
