Kogi APC Declares War With Governor by Lighthouseman: 5:19pm On Apr 16, 2016 |
The Kogi state chapter of the All Progressives Congress
(APC) has written to John Odigie-Oyegun, the national
chairman, vowing never to have anything to do with Yahaya
Bello, the governor, again.
They accused Bello of giving power back to the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) through the back door, alleging that
all the 45 appointments made so far were from the ousted
ruling party.
At the meeting held on Monday and attended by 33 state
exco members and the 21 LGA party chairmen, the party
leaders also alleged that Bello is responsible for the crisis in
the house of assembly which has not been able to sit
because of a leadership tussle.
The federal house of representatives has decided to take
over the duties of the assembly, citing constitutional
provisions.
Here are the highlights of the communique from the exco
meeting made public of Saturday:
That the State government is not carrying the party
structures along in his policy directions, appointments and
general governance.
That we are in the power but still in opposition.
That we fought power from the PDP only for Governor
Yahaya Bello to give back the power to the same PDP.
That all the 45 appointments made so far by his
Excellency, Gov. Yahaya Bello are given to PDP members.
That there is crisis between our members in the State
house of Assembly instigated by the State Governor.
RESOLUTIONS
That a communiqué be issued from this meeting to the
National Secretariat National Leaders and the Presidency
making these observations known to them.
That since we are not prepared to allow our party to die,
we should go back to our various levels and energize our
structure and tell them to remain calm, steadfast and
committed to the ideals of the party.
That the State EXCO should cry out for help to the National
Secretariat National Leaders and the Presidency.
That we should invite all our members in the State house
of Assembly and intervene with a view to uniting them.
That we will henceforth have nothing to do with
government of Yahaya Bello.
In view of the above, we plead to the National Leaders and
Presidency to consider the State’s ministerial nominee
from legacy party so our party will not collapse.
THE AISHA BUHARI CONNECTION

Many APC members in the state have privately expressed
worries that the relationship between President Muhammadu
Buhari’s wife, Aisha, and Bello may be tilting the balance of
power in favour of the governor.
A member of the exco who spoke with TheCable said the
way the governor “has carried on suggests that he thinks he
is a world above the rest of us”.
“You can see him all over the place with the president’s wife.
They both returned from London by BA on April 8, sitting
close to each other in the first class cabin,” he said.
“He was also at the launch of Mrs Buhari’s book, Essentials
of Beauty Therapy, on Thursday. He probably thinks his
closeness to Abuja is all he needs to remain in power.”
However, an associate of the governor dismissed the claims,
describing his accusers as “sore losers”.
“We know where all these allegations and scheming are
coming from. It is Esau’s hand and Jacob’s voice. The
governor will respond at the appropriate time,” he said.
