The Kogi State Government has resolved on Friday to drag Dangote Cement Plc to court and reclaim what rightfully belongs to the people.

Recalled that the National security council on Friday orders immediate reopening of Obajana Cement factory in Kogi State, advise that all issues in contention be resolved legally, insists government is committed to providing employment.

However, the Kogi State government said the decision to go to court was taken at an emergency meeting on Thursday night between key government officials, led by Governor Yahaya Bello and stakeholders representing the different ethnic groups in the state.

A statement signed by the Hon. Commissioner for Information, Kingsley Fanwo on Friday evening said that, at the meeting, which ran into the early hours of Friday, all stakeholders resolved to head to court in the interest of the people and generations to come.

He said the Governor made it clear to the House that there was no going back on the state’s resolve to reclaim its asset, even while he sued for calm in the interest of peace.

“This struggle is not about Governor Yahaya Bello or his administration. It is about the people of Kogi State. In the last 72 hours, well meaning Nigerians, leaders and government officials have waded in and have pleaded with the Governor to consider reopening of the plant while discussions are ongoing.

“The expectations of the over 4 million Kogites are clear and high and we want to assure them that the Governor and the Government of Kogi State will not compromise the interest of the people of the state to reclaim their rights in the cement company.

“There were series of high powered meetings to resolve the impasse, including meetings having the Governor and Alh. Aliko Dangote in attendance. Discussions were held and statements of interest were established. But there was no agreement yet as some desperate parties are trying to promote in the media to mislead the public. We shall be non-violent in our approach as we are sure of green pathways to success for the people in this battle for the economic future of our dear state.

“However, we maintain that the collective asset of the people of Kogi State must be protected and reclaimed in this instance. And that is the process the government has started. We will fight this battle to the end until we get justice from the courts. No committee can resolve this dispute,” the statement said.

Kogi will win the case, but FG will refuse to obey court orders as usual. Dangote is a beneficial of government patronage.

In support

Kogi state government are doing what needs to be done. Someone has to speak the truth

Dangote is BIGGER than YEYEBELLO and KOGI state... As long as injustice and corruption reigns supreme in Nigeria..

Know this and know peace

Forget the messenger. No one likes Yahaya Bello, but follow the narratives.

These guys mean business..... Anyways

or maybe the foool just need distraction from the flood wey dey happen for Kogi so dat nobody go ask him for relief material or what steps av dey taken so far....

Kogi wan pait pederal garnment

Good. Let the court determine who is right or wrong.

But the elders say when two elephants fight, the grass will suffer.

Kogi state is poor and in bad shape. No FDIs, no industries. The state actually needs Dangotes presence at least to stimulate economic activities and employ people directly and indirectly.

The state actors should be open minded and think long term.

The courts will take too many years!

Honestly,
I love the way this Yaya Bello fights the status quo without being apologetic.
So many things are hidden that has given this Dangote upper hands over others in this production industry...
