Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, has blamed the lingering rift between him and Senator Dino Melaye on his refusal to waste the available scarce resources of the state.

He made this known in a phone interview on Channel TV’s Politics Today anchored by Seun Okinbaloye and monitored by DAILY POST

According to Bello, “We are aware of a particular senator who wants elephants to be shared in Kogi State and I refused.

“The people of the state must have value for the lean resources that we are generating, and we are receiving; if that is his problem, so be it,” he said when asked to react to his disagreement with Senator Melaye..

The Governor also denied any involvement in the attack on the senator representing Kogi Central, Mr Ahmed Ogembe.

He said: “First of all, on that day Senator Ogembe was attacked, I was in Kano. I had just received a message of a senator coming home to do empowerment; the next thing was the crisis that ensued.”

Amid the political crisis in the state, the governor said the police have begun investigations into the incident while a lot of arrests have been made.

DAILY POST recalls that some senators had accused the governor during plenary of introducing policies that could degenerate into a political issue if not properly handled.

He, however, took a swipe at the lawmakers for failing to address national issues such as passing the 2018 Appropriation Bill presented by President Muhammadu Buhari to the National Assembly in November 2017, among several others.

Africonji:
No amount of APC rigging will save Yahaya Bello come next governorship election. PDP will destroy APC in Kogi. Even APC supporters will vote against him. An igala PDP candidate will disgrace him. Mark my words.

madridguy:
Stop deceiving yourself. One Million PDP candidate cannot unseat Yahyah Bello. Let them present candidate from Igala missed with Igbira and married from Okun all na wash.

deomel1o:

You are not even from kogi and you are talking. The only way buhari's bitch yahaya will win is through rigging which is what your cursed apc relies on in order to win elections.

anibirelawal:
