Well the gov has came out to debunk the insinuation that he purposefully travelled to watch chelsea match

Niger State governor, Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello
said his visit to London last week was to attend
to his regular medical checkup before proceeding
to the United Nations General Assembly as part
of the entourage of President Muhammadu
Buhari and not solely to watch football match.
Addressing newsmen in New York on Monday, the
governor said his visit to Stamford Bridge
Stadium to watch Chelsea’s match against
Arsenal only coincided with the invitation of a
Nigeria soccer professional- Mikel Obi as part of
the ongoing discussions to set up a professional
sport academy in Niger State.
The governor has been under fierce criticism for
traveling to London to watch a football match.
“The purpose of the trip was for two reasons.
First, I was in London for medical check. For
the past 15 years, I used to do these checks. I
am not a sport fan. It is not my hobby, but
whenever there is any opportunity to assist my
people, I quickly grab it,” the governor said.
He explained that “Obi has been booking for
appointments to meet me for a long time and
incidentally as I came to London, I arranged to
meet him. After the meeting, he invited me to
the march and I honored his invitation. Unlike
what some people are saying in the social media
that I intentionally left Nigeria to come and
watch Chelsea, I am not a mad man.”

If u really love assisting your people, u won't b travelling to London every time for your regular medical check up, u should have built a good medical facilities in your state. shameless governor!

Issokay! But what is that thing 'Obi' realy wants to see you for?! ...... Okay, he wants to set up a Sport Academy in Niger state? That's cool and thoughtful of him, as long as you are saying the truth sir!

How long does it take to build a world-class Hospital? Babangida Aliyu who spent 8yrs as their Governor couldn't build a world-class Hospital (you didn't complain), but you are already condemning a Governor who has barely spent 4months in Government House. He's better than Akpabio the propaganda Governor (the only Governor who built a world-class Hospital in his State but ran away to another Country when he had problem)!

You were to do what Why is apc always lying? Nawa oo

Not a football fan but wear chelsea track suit and cap,who is deceiving who?
