Eid-el Fitr: Gov Yahaya Bello Dodged Lokoja Praying Ground Over Attack Threats by promixdavinci(m): 1:27pm On Jul 07, 2016
This is a fact...... AYB sneaked out to pray elsewhere based on security tip.

By Amuda Dan Sulaiman FAB

The governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello plan to join other Muslim faithfuls to pray at the Lokoja Eid Central Praying Ground to perform this year Eid-El Fitr prayers, was abruptly canceled.

A government source, yesterday, told this reporter that Bello will be going to Okene to perform his prayers.

The cancellation is not unconnected to security threats to the governor from irate workers who had threatened to attack him should he step foot on the central praying ground.

It would be recalled that since the creation of Kogi State in 1991, no Muslim governor has ever perform Eid-El Fitri prayers outside Lokoja, the state capital.

Recall that the ongoing strike by workers in Kogi State has grounded government activities and other operations including financial sector.

The strike, which began last week Monday, was called by leaders of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and their Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC, counterpart, following alleged decision of the state government to open salary accounts for the state workers in Zenith bank, while that of local government workers were opened in Access bank without the knowledge of the workers who only received bank opening statement alerts, asking them to visit the banks for account reconciliation.

From words going around Kogi...I heard the witches & wizards are the ones behind his ordeal to cause confusion for him & his government. That was why he made sure he went to Mecca by fire or by force.
He should just pay homage to the witches & they'll let him go.
