Gov Polls: Bello splashes N2.5 million each on monarchs as Buhari says Kogites will decide

President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday told traditional rulers from Kogi State to go home and let the people decide who should be governor in the forthcoming election scheduled for November 16.

Buhari stated this during a very brief meeting with a delegation of the monarchs who accompanied Governor Yahaya Bello to the State House to seek the President’s support for his reelection.

A source in Kogi State Government House alleged that the monarchs smiled home with N2.5 million each in Abuja.

A very dependable source in the Presidential Villa who was at the meeting which lasted for seven minutes said the Obaru of Kabba, who is chairman of Okun Council of Obas, presented their request by introducing Governor Yahaya Bello to the President.

The Kabba traditional ruler said that they had come to seek the support of Buhari for the reelection of Bello.

While thanking the delegation for the visit, the President then told them to “go back home and let the citizens of Kogi state decide as power truly resides with the people.”

The Ohinoyi of Ebiraland and traditional father of Governor Yahaya Bello, was said to be conspicuously missing from the meeting.

Kogites believed that the monarch from Ebiraland was dissatisfied with the performance of Bello in office and had, as a man of conscience, decided to stay behind rather than make the trip, because he cannot be bought over.

2.5 million ke.. Very cheap...

If after collecting this amount they deliver. They must be dethroned.. We will set Fulani herdsmen on them.

Nonsense

If he likes, he should buy them Ferrari, he is going no where.

I detest cluelessness

bello is still gonna win, he is already applying the age-long principles used by the politicians to buy their way to power. the principles are: 1. impoverish the masses

2. share a few naira notes to the masses prior to the elections and they will sheepishly vote for you

he wants to bribe his way through

Okun people, as in the Yoruba people of Kogi? This is interesting. Bello has started disbursing the Erosion control money already

well the president is right

saheedbadmus:
well the president is right

If course he is.

On this, I support what Buhari said

While Buhari is a happening disaster, bello is a disaster waiting to happen.
