The Kogi State Government has issued a directive to freeze all state and local government accounts, effective immediately.

A Thursday statement signed by the Commissioner for Finance, Asiwaju Asiru Idris, said no form of payment should be made to anyone from the government account henceforth.

According to the statement, all “standing orders and investment instructions are hereby cancelled forthwith”.

However, our correspondent gathered that the decision may be connected with the governor’s concerns regarding the performances of some members of his cabinet.

The PUNCH reports that Governor Yahaya Bello last Saturday gave some members of his cabinet, including the local government chairman, a dress down and questioned their loyalty.

According to him, despite being mobilised to provide transportation and other logistics for the electorates during the election, “you have all failed to deliver while the mobilisation funds ended in private pockets.”

The governor went ahead to issue a questionnaire to all 21 loc

al government chairmen, which they were asked to submit last Tuesday.

no one ever voted for that tyrant but like they said, No empire last forever

They understand themselves... It's teeth and tongue affair

One of the Worst Governor in Nigeria is the Yahaya Bello Dude. Very Corrupt Young Man with Few Achievement. Kogi has being so unlucky like BENUE too.

Imagine

The thing just tire me.

No one at the federal level who is willing to call the bello and his myrmidons to order.

Just of recent, they were talking of selling off all the state's assets and now, this latest one.

I doubt if this not the process of winding up kogi state.

Stale news

Some of you'll be under your brown roof and open your mouths talking down on Kogi State.
Yes, Kogi State isn't getting it right, just like the whole nation is in a retrogressive mode, but doesn't make Kogi State as the most under performing state in Nigeria.

If not that you went through school but school didn't go through you (that's if went to school), show me your stat where you derived your conclusion that Kogi State is the most under performing state.

A little research would have saved you from this ignorant comment.

He will retire in the penitentiary, the very useless guy that God favors and never returns with gratitude.

How does a state governor freeze a local government account?! This Yahaya Bello guy is the most useless, self immersed and clueless governor I have seen in recent times.
He is a testament to the fact that Nigerian youths and relatively young, but old are ALL the same as the old leaders they criticize.
The problem with Nigeria is with the entire chain of moral value systems and not with a particular gender or age bracket in leadership and followership!

Because Bello knows he lost the election

One thing I love about Nigerian democracy is that the new lambs imposed by their masters against the will of the people, will become lions in no time and bear their fangs against their slave masters sooner than we think.....Nigeria is land of no Saints.

Voted for who?

Lol... Nothing dey d account again na

Kogi the most underperforming state..

Hmmm, Do you seek help with your personal statement, statement of purpose, thesis, dissertation, or assignment? Check my profile.

A rotten society can only produce rotten leaders. What is he throwing tantrums about when his preferred candidate won? Wherever money that he shared ended up, it shouldn't be an issue. After all, it's not as if it was his personal money that he disbursed. As for the Kogites lamenting, you can't sell your votes and expect the man that met your price to treat you anyless than a slave. That'll be reoccurring stupidity. Just chin up and get ready to face another 4 to 8 yrs with the book of Lamentations!
