LOKOJA – Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi state has said the All Progressives Congress, APC, came to power during the ‘worst’ and difficult period in the history of the country, however said with cooperation and resilience of the people, the situation was surmountable.

Bello said this was because the Peoples democratic Party, PDP, mismanaged Nigeria democracy while in power; the more reasons Nigeria should count themselves lucky to have the President Muhammedu Buhari led All Progressive Congress, APC, government at the helms of affairs. Bello who stated this Sunday during a state wide Democracy Day broadcast, also said he has change the face of governance and entrenched the dividend of democracy in the state.

His words,”With much hopes and high expectations we installed the Peoples Democratic Party as ruling party in 1999. Unfortunately, the PDP soon became a monster of the sort that was once aptly described as a nest of vipers. The PDP and her members grossly mismanaged our hard-earned Democracy. After about 16 disastrous PDP years, ordinary Nigerians, uniting around the APC and Hurricane Buhari, again swept them out of the corridors of power and into the dustbin of history, hopefully to be seen no more.

“There is no denying the fact that the APC came to power at probably the worst time, socio- economically speaking, for Nigeria and Nigerians. With the steep slid in the global rices of Crude Oil which is the mainstay of our economy, governance has become more challenging than usual. It is indeed a wonder that Mr. President and his Team have been able to starve off a full-blown recession given the circumstances.

The governor however said inspite of the economic hardship, his government had made impart in the state; with education a priority in the “New Direction” blueprint developed to guide the state, said government had developed a holistic approach that would help to revamp and reposition its educational sector for better productivity.

According to him, parts of the approach are welfare of the teaching and non-teaching members of staff in public schools, infrastructural development and provision of instructional materials to students, “Education leads the priority list in our New Direction Agenda. We have continued to pay salaries, renovate school buildings and infrastructure and acquire instructional materials which we distributed to schools across the state.

“We designated three secondary schools, one in each zone, as centres of excellence and unity. They are first in a series designed to raise future leaders who have no distrust of one another and worthy ambassadors of the one Kogi initiative”.

Speaking on efforts of his government at developing the state, Bello said he had resorted to creative financial and social engineering to redistribute the meager federal allocations in the overall interests of the people.

He also said government had paid serious attention to agriculture because it is the next frontier in the revenue projections, adding that several task forces set up had already started yielding results. He said it had signed Memoranda of Understanding with tested large scale farm enterprises with Dangote Group negotiating 20, 000 hectares for rice production.

He however urged the people to look forward to the future of the country with optimism and enthusiasm, said that President Muhammadu Buhari, is laying the foundations for a mega structure that would grow into the Nigeria of our dreams.

The current Nigerian political situation reminds me of George Orwell's Animal farm... The animals through a very belated revolution ( our 2015 election) happily oust the owner of the farm ( in our situation the PDP government) ..

Expectations are high and celebrations rife.... Napoleon ( our very own Buhari) via a perfectly ochestrated scam campaign assumes leadership, with Squealer ( our own Lai Mohammed), as his propaganda machine, and steadily leads the farm (Nigeria) into economic oblivion and possible disintegration

So yes, Oga Yahaya, we are very grateful to Buhari for facilitating the disintegration of this scam entity called Nigeria via his percentage politics of 95-5 .... baba playing betnaija and doing ethnocentric permutations with the sparse dividends of government

We are also very grateful for the present economic boom and the abundance of fuel, tomatoes and unconscionable propaganda

... We are very grateful Sir

We are grateful for the increase in price of tomato.
We are grateful for the previous fuel scarcity.
We are grateful for increasing fuel price to #145.
We are grateful because there would be an election in 2019.
Let's see if you would still be blaming GEJ's government then.

The wives are Aminat Bello, the MD of FairPlus, a company she started with her husband in 2007. Rashest Bello, is the First Lady of Kogi State and the last one is Hajia Hafi Bello.

Target of 10 wives by 60.

Keep talking; you'd soon talk your way back to Abuja where you came from.

see this excursion governor the talk sef

Firefire:
Ghost Governor sef dey talk

I am personally very grateful to Buhari for making a bag of rice to rise from N8k to N22k.


I am also very grateful to him for appointing Fashola who increased PHCN tariff up to 300% and NEPA keeps billing us even though our transformer has been dead for months.

I am grateful for the prices of tomatoes, bread, plastic bag, sachet water, food stuff etc.

Thank you Bu.

I am grateful to buhari for giving me power supply for 2hours for every 5days of uninterrupted blackout.

...What about you?

I used to be happy that this yahaya is the youngest governor in Nigeria but with these comments, if the courts can oust him it would be really nice

Person wey dey owe six months salary dey talk. I weep for Kogi State. Yahaya leave Buhari alone 'cos a bad maggot like you shouldn't mention our President's name

Straight from the mouth of a man who's state has been in crises from the day he stepped in as governor I feel kogi people are unlucky

Gov Bello just took the wrongest step by sacking the chairman of the screening committee of ghost workers in the state. The chairman refused to compromise with the crooks and the crooks threatened Bello with a strike and bello sacked the upright man. I pity his naivety.
It is a known fact that top civil servants in Kogi state thrive on inflating payroll with ghost workers.
The NLC in Kogi state are part and parcel of the ghost workers syndrome in the state.

Certainly, the screening exercise will fail woefully. At the end of the day, there will be more ghost workers than ever before.

So we should be grateful to Buhari for destroying the economy
