Popular Kogi-born activist Comrade Usman Okai Austin has raised another alarm over the heightened security challenge in the State, accusing the State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello of abandoning the State in the name of his presidential ambition.

The PDP stalwart, who described the assassination of a Saudi-based oil explorer Mr Ogacheko Atanu, in his own compound at Idah, Kogi state as a major danger signal, said it was getting to a level where residents of the State will not even be safe in their bedrooms.

According to a statement made available to Vanguard on Monday, the activist said; "It is sad and shameful that while Atanu was killed right in his compound on Saturday, Governor Yahaya Bello was nowhere near the State, was seen in Chief of Naval Staff office in Abuja praising Navy for improved security in IDAH which once again has confirmed the fact that the governor is disconnected from reality on ground and not in touch with happening."

He added; "It should be recalled that even on December 25, 2020, when Christmas was being celebrated, the kidnappers operated unhindered in Kogi, raking millions from their victims.

"It is also more worrisome that all these are happening under a governor who claimed to be ready for President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and I begin to wonder what manner of president will Bello be where his own people are kidnapped left, right and center in the state he is governing.

"It is either Governor Bello is grossly incompetent or he is simply looking the other way while Kogites are being assassinated, kidnapped by bandits so that those he believed can make him either President or Vice President in 2023 can adjudge him as being politically correct."

I don't know who will even vote this ugly, quick tempered, fulani-wanabe and a confused fraudster....

If he has conscience, mentally okay and fear God he need not to be told to solve security issues, fixed bad road , show accountability and transparency in his present status as a governor b4 thinking of the Office of the president... If someone like ZULUM of borno was the one nursing this thought, I will
