Suspected Fulani herdsmen have allegedly killed a 35-year-old farmer, Mr. Ariyo Aina, on his way to the farm at Ogga community, in Yagba West Council of Kogi State.

Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, has given seven days ultimatum to four councils administrators and traditional rulers where 15 Fulanis were killed to fish out the perpetrators or risk losing their positions for ineptitude of duty

https://www.google.com/amp/s/dailypost.ng/2019/05/21/yahaya-bello-threatens-sack-lg-bosses-traditional-rulers-killing-15-fulani-herdsmen-kogi/amp/

This is all about who killed who. One is more important to this government

Blame Yahaya Bello for Kogi violence, says Oodua group
URGENT PRESS STATEMENT
The Governor of Kogi State, Mallam Yahaya Bello should be held responsible for the escalation of crisis in Kogi State. A statement by Apapa Oodua Koya, (AOKOYA) on Wednesday warned that the Governor’s partisan position on the killings in Ogga, a native community in Kogi will worsen the lingering feud.
The statement signed by AOKOYA Secretary for Strategy, Col Abimbola Sowunmi (retd) and Deputy Secretary for Publicity, Ismail Abiodun said that on Wednedday morning, the Kogi Governor ordered armed police men to invade Ogga community leading to fracas and shooting of many innocent people. The people are bleeding as we write.
We urge Nigerians to locate the crisis in Kogi within historical context. A Yoruba man Aina Aiyenigba Ariyo was beheaded in the most savage manner by a Fulani herdsmen in Ogga. The said Fulani men had earlier invaded the farm of the late Ariyo prompting his cows to eat up crops belonging to Ariyo. When Ariyo complained, he was met with instant injustice: His head was severed.
His wife and children watched as his head was tumbling up and down while the Fulani men laughed. The family began to run away. They were pursued by the armed herdsmen. They later went back to the beheaded farmer and started digging knives in his stomach. Not done, the Fulani men started licking the blood of the slain and chanting incantation in Fulfude.’ This is a savage culture and a brute civilization.
One of the worst things was that community leaders went to retrieve the corpse but the Fulani men chased them with their cutlasses.
AOKOYA said that when the incidence was reported to the State Governor, he did nothing blaming the community for not allowing the cows to feed on Mr Ariyo’s farm.
“The whole Yoruba communities in Kogi were perplexed that Mr Yahaya Bello made no attempt to look for the killers of Mr Ariyo. He didn’t pay any condolence visit. He felt unconcerned and even mocked the family of the late Mr Ariyo”
We are surprised that Mr Yahaya Bello suddenly realized the importance of human lives when the community retaliated by killing some Fulani herdsmen.
“What the Ogga people did was a preemptive attack. No sooner had Mr Ariyo was beheaded than the Fulani armed men regrouped and planned to attack the entire community. They indeed invaded the community. Youths in the town already aware and had made preparations for the attack. In the ensuing battle, some Fulani men lay dead while many Ogga people were also wounded.
Since this incidence, Mr Yahaya Bello has given Ogga community leaders seven days to fish out the killers or he would dethrone the traditional rulers and even remove elected officials in the affected communities. This is nothing but segregation and selective justice. “Mr Yahaya is anxious to please the Fulani herdsmen whose lives he thinks are more important than that of the innocent people of Kogi State.”
We wish to notify Nigerians that as early as last year January, a large consignment of Fulani herdsmen had invaded the Government Reserved Forests in the Yoruba part of Kogi. They came with a letter written in Hausa to the extent that they were given authority to settle in these forests by a Northern Emir. Ogga, Aginmi, Ejuku and communities in Moppa complained to the governor but he did nothing. The armed Fulani had since settled in these communities.
We say that the Governor must be held responsible for continuous outbreak of hostilities in the Ogga region. The Governor must be held responsible for any further death in these communities.

*Lawmakers lack capacity - CISLAC*

The Executive Director of the Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC), Auwal Musa Rafsanjani, told Daily Trust that the lawmakers’ inability to sponsor bills was because they lack capacity.

“It’s unfortunate that they spent two years collecting tax payers’ money. They should be accountable for all they have collected. Part of the reason for their being inactive is because they didn’t prepare for the job, so they lack the capacity. They don’t also understand the legislative work and they’re not ready to learn.

“They’re just in the legislature for their personal interest and not to make laws. But let’s even look at the ones that sponsored bills. Some of them don’t even know how to go about sponsoring a bill. Look at the bills to undermine CSOs, encourage looting, grant immunity to themselves, whittle down the powers of CCT and EFCC and the rest.

“Nigerians must confront the lawmakers to do the work they were elected to do. Those that are doing nothing must wake up from their slumber,” he said.

If this statement is true, why on earth is Kogi Government and some other states still owing civil servants 5month plus salaries, with no project on ground

The Minister of Finance, Mrs Zainab Shamsuna Ahmed on Monday, cleared the air on the last tranche of the paris club refunds saying the sum of N691.560 billion has already been disbursed to states since March 2019 by CBN after verification....

However in a statement issued in Abuja on Monday by her media aid, Paul Ella Abeche, the Minister noted that there was no more tranche of Paris Club refunds to be disbursed to states.

Ahmed's clarification became necessary following the news making round the medias that states will soon receive tge last tranche

Yahya Bello will come back to complete his eight years tenure for the Ebiras of Kogi state. Then okun people will carry on for another eight straight years. This is the only truth that will create peace and equity in the state. If your king represents your ancestors, are your ancestors biased and selfish to this extent? The Kogi were ruled by Igalas for twenty straight years and nothing to show for it. The state was mortgaged by Igalas, ghost institutions in thousands including hospitals, schools.
Other states have ghost workers but Kogi has ghost institutions. Yahaya Bello says capital no, is that your headache? He cannot get everything right but what of security? Is Kogi state not kidnapper's den before him? You think is easy to dislodge those cartels without then paying him with corrupt media outfit. The boy says no godfatherism again in Kogi state. He made sure his SAs, PAs, commissioners, aids are all youths, is that the problem?
You think you in diaspora are wiser than those at home who decided to maintain 25/25 APC Kogi state house of assembly recently.
Please gone are the days when tribalism work in Kogi state. Yahaya Bello has broken that jinx. He may not have done well in this first term, but he has learn a lot. There is no alternative for now.

HE SHOULD ADDRESS HOW HE WILL HANDLE THE FOLLOWING;

1. 137 KSU professors and doctors whose appointments terminated for going on strike to demand for their rights?
