A former Minister of Police Affairs, Maj-Gen. David Jemibewon (rtd) has said he did not endorse the second term bid of Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State.

He said leaders of Kogi West Elders Forum (KWEF) were only invited to a meeting with Bello on how to move the state forward.
He said the “endorsement of the governor” was not part of the talks with KWEF leaders.

He said the session was devoted to the good of Kogi West and the state in general including security, payment of salaries and political appointments
Jemibewon, who spoke with our correspondent on the phone, said it was unfortunate that the communiqué of the meeting was “formulated” to include endorsement.

He said he remains committed to his party, the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP).
“I went to the meeting for the good of my community(Kogi West). I went for the discussion on invitation and we did not talk of endorsement at the meeting. I could not have endorsed Governor Yahaya Bello of APC for second term.
“At my age, I am not looking for any favour . I am a member of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), even though it is not terribly serious, and to come out to say I adopt anybody is a kind of anti-party activity.

“

At this stage of my life, I do not want to be accused of anti-party activities. As a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, I did not endorse Governor Bello.

”
Jemibewon faulted the communique issued at the end of the meeting.
He added: “The way the communiqué was formulated was embarrassing, it was not circulated at the meeting.

I did suggest they should send the communiqué to a former Attorney-General of the Federation, Chief Bayo Ojo for vetting. The word endorsement, I cannot remember hearing it from anybody at the meeting.

Asked of what transpired between leaders of Kogi Elders Forum (KWEF) and the governor, Jemibewon said: “We were invited to meet with the governor and as a leader, I won’t say I don’t want to see him. “We thought we were non-partisan. We talked about security, payment of salaries and political appointments. Not a single word was used to indicate endorsement and I did not endorse Bello.
“I am still in PDP, I remain committed to the party.”

Hmmm. Fear politicians

This Yahaya Bello fit win again oo, the way things are going

Na dem dem

Who go still win go still win. Make una dey fool unasef

Yaya Bello for the president


Okezie Ikpeazu for the vice president




Sudan will be a mega country


you feel me ?

Yahaya Bello must not win in Kogi....Kogites liberate yourselves

Jj

K

Mr James will not just support any candidate like that,he will only stand with the winning party, for now the kogi guber election looks dicey. Bello can't boost of his re election .

Kogi State Wise up!

May the best candidate win.

Someone that will change the lives of Kogi people positively. 

How we wish kogites can vote for a very good candidate outside PDP and APC.

God bless Kogi state.

God bless Nigeria.

Over 500k voters are expected to vote. So after the election a candidate will emerge the winner with about 280k votes while the other candidate got 240k. You already know your winner.

GYB on the rise. He will correct all the mistakes and move Kogi state forward. He has learnt a lot. Governance is not easy. If you are not part of the system before becoming the head, it's not easy to start performing from outside.

What makes Lagos growing is partially because the successive governors are people that has already serve with the preceding governments.

Kogi is a micro Nigeria with serious fetish spiritual inclinations, that the boy can survived all the attacks, both physical and spiritual till now, is not a joke.

One powerful tool he is using is balance and justice in political appointment across the three senatorial zones of the state. The state had suffered greatly in this aspect from previous governments.

He has also silence the godfathers who believes they and their family owns the state. His appointees are children of nobody and had successfully built his own political structure down to the grassroot.

If you know, you know.

I used to play with baba David Jemibewon's wife's junior sister in Ekotedo where David Jemibewon's wife rented a shop in the 70s.Infact,I also follow her to a bank at Dugbe. One thing I know about Baba is that he is a straight forward person.

Yahaya Bello might still not win this election

See your life Yahyah

Bello must go

He has one big school there....before Iyah-Gbede.
Remembered Bayo Ojo.....was at his place at Ekirrin-Ade.

NYSC at Gbede...sweet old days

Doesn't matter who endorses or not... As long as his dad in Aso Rock has given his stamp of approval, he is winning landslide next month ( voters or no voters).
