My Life Is In Danger - Kogi Deputy Governor by vegafbs: 9:16am On Feb 18, 2019 |
http://nextedition.com.ng/2019/02/18/life-danger-kogi-deputy-governor/ Kogi State Deputy Governor, Simon Achuba, has raised the alarm that his life is in danger following the withdrawal of his security details allegedly on the order of the state governor, Yahaya Bello. Achuba made the allegation while briefing members of the press on Sunday at his official residence in Lokoja. He said he was shocked after returning from a trip to his village where he had gone to participate in the scheduled elections to find the gate to his official residence empty without any of his security personnel. He said, “I was surprised to see that all policemen attached to my house had been withdrawn. I then put a call across to the Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Busari, who also expressed shock and promised to give the matter an urgent attention. “After about an hour, I called him again but he refused to pick my call. I sent a text message to him and up till now, he has not got back to me.” “I’m a member of the All Progressives Congress. I reported to the national leader of the APC but nothing has been done… My imprest was stopped for no reason and it was ordered by the governor. I live as deputy governor in the house without security, I travelled home without police, my life is in danger.” He also said that the light and water to his residence had been cut off and that he currently lives in darkness. The deputy governor called on the acting Inspector-General of Police to intervene so as to maintain law and order in the state. He also called on the Federal Government to intervene in the affairs of Kogi State whose citizens, he said, had been subjected to hardship. Referring to the governor’s style of leadership, he said, “When God gives you the privilege to rule a people, the people should not be taken for granted. You don’t have to use force for your policy to scale through if they are popular and people-oriented.” He said that the point of departure between himself and the governor was in the area of urging the government to do things according to the will of the people to which no one had been listening. Meanwhile, the Director-General, Media and Publicity to the governor Yahaya Bello, Kingsley Fanwo has said it was not the state governor’s duty to assign and post security details to the deputy governor. “It is not the responsibility of the governor to give security even to himself. The security heads do. So, the governor is not responsible for posting security to the deputy governor. “So, if his claims are true, kindly get in touch with the security agencies to give explanations.” 1 Like 2 Shares

As much as I hate the governor. However it is gross stupidity to be a deputy to someone you think has failed his people and not take the honorouble part of resigning, instead criticizing him publicly just to emass sympathy while enjoying the perks of office. 6 Likes 1 Share |
