Joavid:
the screened ones have been paid January and February. in the process, there was some mix up which he's trying to fix.

pray tell, what is incompetent about him?

is he the only governor yet to pay workers?

Joavid:
so Kogi is the only state owing workers ba?

Tribalism is when Igala's have been in luggard house since the creation of the state and have nothing to show for it but ghost workers on thier payroll and when a man from another tribe enters luggard house, they want to paint him bad to the public and come up with petty reasons that he's messing up because he's reforming the state.

U're unbelievable. People were paid part salaries. My friend's mother hasn't being paid a dime,his dad got 60% of all the money he's being owed. Does that sound competent 2u? I don't care about governors,I care about other governors,I care about mine. U wonna knw wats incompetent about him some more? I'll give it 2u....has he unveiled his plan 2d state after 8months in office? A:NO. Has he settled all workers pay? A:NO. Even after 8months. Is he in tune with the reality in his state?A:No. How can sm1 be buying jeeps 4 his aides/loyalists when d economy is bad? His C.O.S has a bullet proof jeep,purchased in less than a 100 days in office. The recent occasion of the 25th anniversary celebrated in d state (I hear 2 face was invited) up2 N300million was spent and yet people are hungry. Does that make sense 2u?

Joavid:
Wada did nothing for state. he did nothing in ebira land. absolutely nothing! we ebiras didn't throw stones at him.

infact he did nothing for his Igala people except paying them(ghost workers).

Bello is reforming the state, and Igala's are angry because of what exactly? An ebira man is governor?

Yoyostic:
Your contention with the Igalas ehn? As if the Igalas are the only one in the state. Wada did nothing, even the igalas were not happy with him that was why they voted Audu of which your Hero is benefiting from. Before you start screaming about the Igalas, remember they are still some Igalas that are benefitting from his Government just like you and with defend him come what may.And remember this, some Igalas have not been paid, yes, same as the Ebiras and the Okuns. Wada destroyed his political appointment due to inability to pay workers, that was why he became unpopular.Your hero, will destroy his too if he thread the same path. Only Ebiras will vote for him in his second tenure if continues this way.He just started o, before you know it, the four years will elapse.He should ask Wada.Kogi is a civil service state,they don't have any other source of income apart from their salaries,depriving people of that will not make him popular.

Joavid:
bros, like you said, screening upon screening. so be patient, the guy assumed office in January.

I can confidently tell you he has good plans for the state.

jelal007:
If I get u correctly,Wada is the cause abi? So 8months isn't enough 4 sm1 who claims 2b young and vibrant,who has secured up2 20BN and has being receiving allocations 2 settle salaries? 8Months never do? Let's stop making excuses 4 dis young man abeg,he's messing up.

Joavid:
Guseh, it happened in Anyigba right?

of course, am not surprised. the Igala's are pained.

jay7:
I know Yahaya is not trying for now but Wada had all it takes to set Kogi straight, had it been he use the state resources well when everything was still ok in the country

Guseh:
It also happened in Ekinrin-ade in Ijumu L.G sometimes ago, are those pple pained too?? Please, wake up to the reality on ground and stop supporting the Gov. blindly just because you from the same town.

jelal007:
Can u please understand that this isn't about Wada v Bello?

OnucheAdams:
That's blatant falsehood: Who commenced work on the so called Lokoja township road Bello brags about? Wada was constrained by funds, which is why he went to the capital market to raise funds for projects he deemed critical to unlocking the potential of the State. As things stand, Bello has stopped all these projects, but has also failed to replace them with any of his.

Also remember that despite the paucity of funds, Wada placed a premium of staff wellfare, paying backlog of benefits to both pensioners and current employees. It was only after Kogi's monthly allocation dropped significantly that he then proposed the famous Imo formula of the 80's, which labor vehemently kicked against. As at when Wada left office, he was owing months worth of salaries, but also left behind two months allocation - the questions is what happened to those funds?

Joavid:
no one said funds are Missing.

we don't just want to continue paying ghost workers and godfathers like Wada did.

Wada has no achievement and he's a thief.

The Concerned Citizens of Kogi State, a civil society organisation, has written a petition to President Muhammadu Buhari on the alleged wanton looting of the state treasury under Yahaya Bello, the governor.



The group accused the governor of looting the treasury to the tune of N11 billion.



It claimed that the governor had been conniving with Edward Onoja, his chief of staff, two commissioners, two permanent secretaries, and top members of his administration.



“In furtherance of our statutory mandate on the promotion of good-governance, equity, equality, rule of law and justice as well as in line with President Muhammadu Buhari government’s inspiring hard stance against corrupt practices and financial crimes, we forward herewith our findings detailing commission of offences such as breach of trust, fraud, money laundry, misappropriation of funds and wanton looting of the treasury of Kogi State to the tune of about NGN 11 Billion by the Kogi state governor, H. E. Alhaji Yahaya Bello and his co-conspirators to wit,” the petition read.



“We wish you to furnish you and your trusted commission with unassailable facts and figures of how funds meant for the well-being of the government and people of Kogi state are being systematically embezzled and laundered.



“The state governor, his officials and cronies committed these corrupt practices and financial crimes through the followings;


“Award of bogus contract of the renovation of 17 units of mostly three (3) bedroom bungalows (removal of roof and re-painting only) for a whooping sum of NGN 1.6 billion awarded to MAJ Global Construction Company Ltd. without tender, contrary to the public procurement act.


“We strongly believe that the so called phoney renovation contract was an avenue to steal and launder funds from the commonwealth of Kogi people.


“Award of bogus contract for the construction of AGASA-UKPOGORO Road to AG Vision Construction Nig. Ltd of which NGN912, 648, 960. N49 million hurriedly paid in a day without physical mobilisation to site till date.


“Suspicious money laundering of the sum of NGN87, 500, 000. 00million and NGN91, 500, 000.00million through CGC Construction Company under the guise of payment of contract sum on 22nd June, 2016 and 1st August, 2016 respectively.


“Complete and wanton misapplication and looting of the bailout fund of +N20 billion and N10 billion infrastructure fund respectively.”


Calling on the president to swing into action, the group said the allegations against Bello were weighty.



“Sir, from the aforementioned, it is crystal clear that there exists many instances of breach of trust, money laundering and misappropriation of funds by the individuals and corporate bodies mentioned above,” it said.



“Therefore as a civil society organization, with zero tolerance with the violation of the law and in pursuant with our mandate, we are under obligation to bring these suspected criminal conducts and financial crimes under your regulatory and investigative powers as provided under the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission Act.



“From the foregoing, we therefore urge you to use your good offices to urgently commence comprehensive investigation into our petition.”



“All illicitly acquired monies and properties from the proceeds of the wanton looting of the Kogi State treasury be recovered and returned to Kogi state government.”



When contacted Kingsley Fanowo, chief press secretary to the governor, said he had not seen the petition.



“I have not seen the petition. I will react when I see it,” he told TheCable via text message.

Joavid:
then why are u encouraging people to throw stones at him.

did we throw stones at Wada?

you were patient with Wada that wasted four years.

Bello assumed office January and you hate him for what?

realpoacher:
...

Joavid:
exactly. All this blocking of roads is happening in Igala land and by Igala's because they hate an Ebira man is governor.

outsiders won't understand this.

jay7:
And who told you that? I guess you are referring to state workers, but as for local government workers and primary school teachers Wada pay in percentage and he is owning them more than a year plus salary before leaving office and that was why the state requested for bailout fund but with we taught things would get better having a young governor but he came on board and pay few people, I am not a fan of any politician but I still prefer Wada percentage salary payment to what we are experiencing in kogi state now.
