WHAT caused the fallout between Senator Melaye
and Governor Bello?


Senator Dino Melaye is a party faithful that will
always want the progress of the party APC. It’s only
the deaf and blind that will say he or she did not
know the role Senator Dino Melaye played during the
merger that led to the emergence of APC. Senator
Dino and Yahaya Bello were not on the same page
during the primaries, but he supported the
emergence of Bello on some critical grounds as it
affects the party. After the death of the party flag
bearer in the governorship election, Late Prince
Abubakar Audu, INEC demanded a replacement for
the purpose of the outstanding election in some
units. The party leadership, considering all variables
favoured Yahaya Bello.


I know how Senator Dino raised fund for Yahaya
Bello. This Yahaya Bello cannot stand before people
like us to say that Senator Dino did not make him.
We are more matured in act and deeds and will be
mindful in our choice of words. Senator Dino started
disagreeing with Yahaya Bello when he started
working outside the party structure. Governor Yahaya
Bello has no respect for the party that produced him,
that accounts for the various appointments he made.
It is so unfortunate for the state as 99% of Governor
Bello’s appointees are either illiterate or half-baked
literate.
Concerning the claim by some people who are
ignorant that Senator Dino was not happy with the
appointment of Honourable Taofiq Isa as the
administrator of Ijumu local Government, Melaye
wouldn’t have consented to whatever will affect the
existing peace and arrangements that have been laid
down through gentleman understanding.


There are three axes in Ijumu, and by our rotational
agreement, the next person to administer the affairs
of the local government was expected to come from
Ijumu Oke, simply because the immediate past
Chairman was from Ijumu Arin, and the one before
him was from Gbede axis, and Honourable Taofiq is
from Gbede, appointing him amounted to cheating on
the good people of Ijumu Oke.


Senator Dino has no personal issue with Taofiq. In
2007 when he was unable to afford the money for
nomination form to contest for the councilorship
position, Dino then, paid N50,000 for him. At the
emergence of APC, Senator Dino made Taofiq the
APC Chairman of Ijumu local government after which
he went after Honourable Sam Aro and worked
against Senator Dino from becoming the Senator, but
God on his side, he won, and today, he is the Senator
representing Kogi West Senatorial District. The
victory settled the case.


What danger does the quarrel between the governor
and the senator portend for Kogi West in the next
election?


The governor has control over the resources of the
state but not over the conscience of the people. A
governor that is not giving civil servants their due as
at when due, a governor that is not bothered about
the welfare of aged pensioners, schools are closed
for months, yet the governor is not moved. So much
hunger in town. They may own the money, but we
have the people, and when it is time, the people will
speak.


The State ALGON boss, Taofiq Isa is asking the
EFCC to probe the senator over alleged diversion of
IDPs materials. What is your reaction?
I have said it that they are noise makers. They know
the way to the court, but they have been making
noise through their paid newspaper comments.


What is the fact of the reported assassination
attempt on Senator Melaye?


I am not a policeman, neither am I a security
operative. We cannot play on the intelligence of our
security operatives. As I speak with you, some
suspects have been apprehended, and they are
already making statements and giving evidence, so
why not allow the police and the court handle the

Kogi state has been blessed with worse leaders since time immemorial..

It's a pity that the young ones are even worse than the old ones that we are all blaming. Yaya Belo is a disgrace to the young generation

Kogi state's problem must be spiritual. How can such state be so unfortunate. Look at Bello that became governor thru no help of any man but by divine Providence, see how he has so messed up.
I was in lokoja recently. Everywhere you see two or more gathered, they are lamenting and cursing him

If this is kind of young leaders we are clamouring for in kogi and nigeria at large, it is far better for old to continue ruling or let the military take over.
This yahaya bello is the worst governor in nigeria. I wouldnt blame him since he got it on a platter of gold
