” We are out today to let the world know that the Kogi state government is owing basic education teachers in the state. We also want the federal government and the public to know how government is killing public school.

They have all removed their children from public schools to private schools and as such whether public school is dead or not they are not bothered about it,” he said.

next time people would think well before voting

This man is a useless Governor to be fair with him. This man had to increase his monthly security vote from N40M to N400M yet he can't pay workers.


PS: His major opponent Prince Abubakar Audu is also a mediocre but better than this Wada by miles. Kogi state need REAL leaders. #God Bless Our Kogi Brethren

.

Who made this buffon governor

come October WADA are a gooner,ask AUDU.......

Let them dance to the tune of their music.. afterall they voted him in

Another evil PDP bestowed on the long suffering people of kogi state, those foolish policemen beating their fellow low-wage-earners are serially daft and myopic, once you give them some ogogoro money they quickly suspend all common sense and rush in the service of people who are doing wrong. Buhari must stop all this abuse of power by governors.
