The governor of Kogi State and the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the November 16th election in Kogi State, His Excellency Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello, has expressed total dissatisfaction and disappointment with the conduct and progress of his campaign in kogi West Senatorial district, stating that his appointees from kogi west seem to be unknown in their communities.
GYB was said to have complained bitterly to his erstwhile adversary and newly found friend, Hon James Abiodun Faleke. Bello has accused kogi West appointees of sabotage and referred to them as ”glutens” who are only interested in who controls campaign funds meant for the axis.
Sources close to Hon Faleke claimed that GYB offered to channel campaign funds meant for kogi west through him (Faleke) but the Lagos born politician was quick to reject that offered. Faleke was quoted to have tagged the money “ Ógun ówó” translated in English as “Blood money” to his close associates.
The three(3) times House of Representative member advised that Bello handed over the campaign funds to his appointees but Bello lamented that his appointees seem to be like aliens in their various communities, they have little or no electoral value.
GYB seems to be worried about his diminishing popularity and has told his allies to work to rig and write results as that will be the only way to ensure his victory at the polls.
Evident of the above is the planned disruption of election in kogi east with dangerous armed wielding thugs already imported into various communities in kogi east and west.
