YAHAYA BELLO ON OBASANJO-

Governor Bello urges Buhari to build rehab centres for OBJ, other failed unremorseful leaders

.
The Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to build rehabilitation homes for Olusegun Obasanjo and other “failed Nigerian leaders” who ran the country aground without remorse.

The Governor pointed out that no normal human beings would do what former President Obasanjo and his likes did to Nigeria without being remorseful.

Bello’s statement was not unconnected with the press statement issue by Obasanjo on Tuesday advising President Buhari against contesting in 2019 on sundry grounds.

Bello made the call Wednesday at the commissioning of the Multi-Purpose Rehabilitation Centre donated to the Kogi State Government by the Northern Governors wives forum in Lokoja.

Bello said some leaders in the country who have abused power in the past and that are still misusing the privilege given to them as former Nigerian leaders need to be mentally rehabilitated and restored.

“These leaders have failed the people, these men of yesterday have abused power and will have to be rehabilitated,” the Governor emphasized.

Bello stressed that the support his colleagues and himself have for Buhari remains unshakable.

“Nigeria must be great again, there is no campaign of calumny that will cow us from supporting President Muhammadu Buhari in the next elections,” he added.

He urged the Nigerian President not to be deterred by side talks and unwarranted criticism by the past “failed” leaders from contesting.

"Don't just run in 2019, Mr. President, if you want to fly, fly, the masses are solidly with you, your policies are making millions of Nigerians comfortable than ever before,” Bello said.

On the challenges of insecurity in his state, he explained that “the Kogi State Government combatting drug abuse and criminality in all forms.”

Bello explained further that “you cannot destroy a state in the last sixteen years and then expect miracle in one day; it's a gradual process and every aspect of the state will be fixed.”

He called on the governors’ wives to support their husbands in their various states to ensure that “their effort in building centres to rehabilitate drug abusers and failed politicians was achieved.”

The Commissioner for Women Affairs, Mrs. Ampitan Bolanle said the scourge of drug abuse and addiction has become so widespread in the society that it could no longer be neglected.

According to Mrs. Bolanle there was every need to rescue drug abuse victims and prevent further spread of illicit drugs in the country.

The Commissioner thanked the governors’ wives for donating the centre to the State.

“This drug abuse victims’ rehabilitation centre is equipped with a Clinic/Dispensary that would take care of the patients, it has a childcare section for infants abandoned by their poor mothers and eldercare with mini recreation centre for the elders,” she said.

Another backdoor way of depleting the foreign reserves that they claim buhari has increased. 419 government

If to say this girl black ehn! Her ugliness for dey another level

Firefire:
The failure should try and go and contest nobody is stopping him.

Remember he contested previously 3 times and failed being a known loser and serial failure before the conspiracy to oust GEJ and install the monumental failure.

Except the dullard rig the election using the INEC chairman. His failure is guaranteed!

Btw: you sound like a broken records...

AND RIG HE WILL!!! BRACE UP FOR ANOTHER BUHARI 4 YEARS!!! NIGERIA IS DOOMED!!

So NGenekwenu now that you are back, what is your comment on zahra's bashing of her father.

Aisha is a disgrace of a wife. She is just lucky nigerians have short memories. Woman that moved from frying akara to carrying 35 million naira handbag. Woman that has been a major beneficiary of all the corruption going on. If she truly is on the side of the masses she should expose all the egunje going on. She is just complaining because the cabal will not let her appoint people into key positions. She is not fighting for the masses. She is fighting for herself and her interests.

SBG04:
Same Sule Lamido that is in court for embezzling Jigawa state resources. His sons are also in court for diverting billions of naira from the states coffers. If you put this criminal sule on one side and put the old and seemingly fragile Buhari on the other, i will pick Buhari any day. These criminals that have looted our commonwealth are really angry that Buhari has refused to give them any soft landing. They must refund all the money they stole or go to jail. Stupid sule!

The only reason you will pick a hypocitical buhari over a lamido is simply because YOUR MUMU NEVER DO!!!

So what happens to morons lie bello that has over legalised open grazing and has even made it a crime to complain about fulani in kogi

Buhari will be defeated in his home town- Governor Yahya Bello

That means buhari has lost. This bello is a nuisance who talks without thinking. How many voters are there in kogi compared to katsina. Total number of voters in kogi are half that of katsina..it means he is indirectly telling us that buhari will not get half of the votes of his hometown katsina meaning he will be rejected even by his own people

Thief of the highest order. What happened to 6 billion paris club refund and the previous allocations , bailout etc. You only paid 40% of salaries of 30 percent of staff while declaring the rest as ghost. It is on record that you have received about 8 billion every month for the past 24 months that you have been governor. We saw how many projects Your predecessor did with 8 billion that he got as bond. I dare you to show one project. God punish you Bello

Absurdity in Kogi as masquerades grab cars, cash gifts from gov



• Gesture bizarre, shameful – Faleke

• No, it’s an act of love – Gov’s aide

From Emmanuel Adeyemi, Lokoja

Ekwuenchi masquerade festival among the Ebira-speaking people of Kogi State is perhaps the most colourful cultural event in Ebiraland. The festival, which is celebrated annually, draws the low and mighty from far and near to various communities in Ebiraland.

Ekwuenchi masquerade festival is normally celebrated during the dry season. This often falls in December, when indigenes of the area visit their ancestral home and exchange gifts with their loved ones during the Yuletide.

It was learned that some notable ceremonies such as marriage, house-warming, naming, club and association events are held during this festival, which is celebrated by every clan. It was also learned that, for more than 10 years now, the celebration of Ekwuenchi masquerade festival has been enmeshed in problems, leading to apprehension among residents. The festival had allegedly witnessed killing of innocent people, burning of houses, looting and destruction of property. It was also learnt that communities, clans and individuals now use the festival to settle old scores, while politicians in the area have hijacked it to terrorise their opponents. This, Daily Sun gathered, might have led to the state government, sometime ago, partially banning the festival. Back then, security personnel, including soldiers, were usually drafted to Ebiraland to forestall any break down of law and order.

However, during the last celebration, Governor Yahaya Bello, rather than enforcing the ban on the festival like his predecessors, rolled out the drums to celebrate it.

For more than four days, Governor Bello was said to have made a big show of the event by bringing his cabinet members along with all political appointees and all the 21 local government caretaker chairmen to Okene, his ancestral home, for the celebration of the festival. The governor, it was also learned, used the occasion to inaugurate his private palatial mansion and held a reception for all major stakeholders in the five local government areas that make up Ebiraland.

During the masquerade festival, the governor was alleged to have given out six new Toyota Venza SUV cars worth over N90 million and N2 million cash to each of the custodians of the masquerades.

Sementi masquerade from his Ihiebe clan, and Irehuohi masquerade from Eyire clan, that are described as major rivals were beneficiaries of the largesse.

This ‘strange gift’ to masquerades has generated so much fuss in the state, especially as the governor was said to be owing workers salaries for about 22 months.

Chief James Faleke, All Progressives Congress (APC) running mate to the party’s candidate in the 2015 governorship election in the state, the late Prince Abubakar Audu, described the masquerade gift as “shameful and the height of absurdity.”

Faleke said that the same governor who could not pay salaries of workers after collecting close to N20 billion in December alone as Kogi State’s allocation from the Paris Club refund was now doling out money and cars to masquerades.

However, a community leader in Obehira, Alhaji Yesufu Otaru, did not see anything wrong in what the governor has done, stressing that the outing of the two masquerades always generated crises so much so that their supporters clashed and engaged in maiming, killing and destroying each other’s properties.

“For us, the governor’s gift to the masquerades is a welcome development as we see it as dousing the superiority tension between the Sementi masquerade of the Ihiebe clan and the Irehuohi masquerade of the Eyire clan, which are archrivals.

“Don’t forget that Governor Bello has been a major sponsor of one of the masquerades even before he became the state governor. So, there is nothing wrong in somebody in a position of authority promoting his culture,” he said.

But Faleke, who felt grieved by the development, said: “I honestly don’t know what is happening in our state. We thought that the governor (Bello) would heed popular call to settle all outstanding salaries and pensions in the state last December as he promised after receiving the Paris Club refund, only for him to pay 40 per cent of two months’ salaries.

“So, where did the rest of the money go to? Next we heard the news of the six Venza cars he bought and presented to masquerades in Okene, through their minders, along with N2 million cash to each of them.

“How else can one be so insensitive to the welfare, yearnings and aspirations of his people?”

Faleke could not understand how the state government that had claimed all along that it had no outstanding salaries to pay just released a fresh list of “cleared staff.”

“What that means is that the staff so ‘cleared’ had been without pay for the past two years, when the screening exercise began. So who is fooling whom?”

The lawmaker bemoaned the situation where, as he put it, instead of providing succour for the citizenry, what now obtained was intimidation and harassment of hapless and harmless residents of the state.

“A case in point happened recently in Iyamoye community, where a group of youths, who were distributing end-of-year gifts to APC members were attacked by soldiers providing security for an appointed local government administrator.

“As an administrator, the state government provided him soldiers with which he harasses perceived political opponents in the state. And of course, the newsstands were awash few days ago with the news of how ‘unidentified’ thugs hijacked the first batch of rice consignment donated by some senators to alleviate the hunger ravaging the workers. That is the reality in our dear state at the moment.”

Faleke called on Bello to “turn a new leaf this year” by re-ordering his government’s priorities so as to ameliorate the current unacceptable level of pains being inflicted on the people of the state.

However, Governor Bello’s media aide, Kingsley Fanwo, on Wednesday, hit back at his principal’s critics saying: “Masquerades are extra-terrestrial beings that don’t drive cars.

“Yesterday, I received a call from a friend who resides in Lagos. After the New Year banter, my friend began clearing his throat so mischievously that I instantly knew he was up to something sinister. He said: ‘But, Kingsley, how come your masquerades in Kogi are so expensive?’ I asked him ‘Who told you that Kogi masquerades are expensive? My late grandfather was a leading Aworo (masquerades’ custodian), so I know a bit of the mystery of masquerades. ‘In Kogi, masquerades are not expensive,’ I replied.

“My friend slipped into laughter. He wouldn’t take any of my explanations. What was important to my Lagosian friend was that his representative in the House of Representatives, James, sorry, Chief James Abiodun Faleke, had told the world that the governor of Kogi State, his leader in the All Progressives Congress, donated posh cars and millions to masquerades!

“I was shocked. Even if Chief Faleke is a Lagosian, he was born and brought up in Kogi State. His community, Ekinrin Adde, parades some of masquerades that boast of cultural artistry and finesse.

“I was forced to harmlessly ask my friend if Eeyo masquerades drive posh cars on the streets of Lagos. Brother Faleke, masquerades are extra-terrestrial beings. They do not drive cars.

“The governor went to celebrate an important festival with his people. He loves his people. He has always been with his people. He is a proud Anebira, who would not trade his place of birth on the altar of political desperation.

APC IS NOT BOUND BY MBAKA BUT THEY ARE MAKING AN OFFICIAL RESPONSE TO MBAKA. IS MBAKA THE FIRST PASTOR TO PROPHESIZE AGAINST BUHARI? NO! HOW MANY DID APC ISSUE AN OFFICIAL RESPONSE TO? NONE!!!!

IGNORE MBAKA AT YOUR PERIL

The sad story though is the way COS exposed bello lie about rice. It is obvious the so called confluence rice was repackaged rice

Josephamstrong1:
Re-known indeed Mr educator.
Renown oga prof.
COS might be right though.

Oga teacher dont teach us nonsense- it is RENOWNED not RENOWN.

Falana has stopped requesting for list of recovered funds now it is list of those arrested. He does not need agf to do that. Efcc publicizes their arrest in newspapers the list is full of buhari's oppositiin pure and simple

Cidacrest hospital that is the same hospital Governor Wada of kogi stay when he refuse to go abroad for t reatment. The man must be good

dingbang:
a copy of your tax identification number please...

So you can arrange to have him arrested?

Secondus- honest? Pdp are clowns- seconduus is their definition of honesty?

They were most likely laughing at the stupidity and gullibility of nigerians. How easy it was for us to believe all those promises. Elrufai will be like- did you see the look on those masses face when we said we will make 1$equal to N1? Baba bubu will be like idiot- as if they will ever smell American embassy, how them wan take smell dollar? Then laff go scatter

Kogi confluence rice was since Wada's time. Then you will see plantations, and the rice milling plant. This one is just repackaged rice that Bello has allocated billions to. God forbid for that Bello

Transport fares that were subsidized during wada tenure. Within lokoja was 50 naira per drop. Bello has diverted those buses to his private transport company

You must be from KOGI STATE

Bolster:
As a matter of fact, that's one of the qualities Nigerians sees in him.

Nigeria as a country doesn't necessarily need a politician who knows how to make or acquire personal fortune. What we need is a patriotic Nigeria who isn't motivated by personal aggrandizement and wealth accumulation.

In a country where public office is guarantee way to become rich, If someone who's held several public offices had to borrowed to build his houses then such person has lived an exemplary life.

Today in Nigeria, there's NO politician, I repeat, no politician that can boldly say the something President Buhari said.

It is no surprise that the world is admiring this rare of man, a rare gem in the public service, a man who can proudly and boldly said:

"I came into this world with nothing and I will leave with nothing, why should I steal?"

And why should anybody who is sensible, morally responsible, religiously upright and patriotic ever want to steal the commonwealth of close to 200 million people?

God bless President Buhari

Borrowed money without collateral and paid back through which money , the one produced by his cows? This man should allow us rest with his tales by moonlight. Always talking about the past. He should talk about the present hypocracy he is running. The level pf corruption under buhari is mind boggling

skelewu404:
I have heard about some workers in the state being owe 22 months too my question is has the governor spend up to 22 months in office

YES. HE HAS DONE 23 MONTHSTHIS DECEMBER. BELLO IS THE DEVIL INCARNATE. VERY WICKES

Just release dasuki . The scam is too much

OPEN LETTER TO ELRUFAI BROTHER YAHAYA BELLO

By Abdullahi O Haruna Haruspice

Dear Gov Bello,

I join your well wishers to celebrate with you on the completion of your edifice that’s so grotesquely magnificent that one needs not aspire to go to heaven. This is indeed a heavenly masterpiece that should last forever.

It is an unrivalled template of a house in the whole of Nigeria.You no doubt have taste mr governor. Your taste is befitting of your status your excellency, anyone with your kind of accomplishment sure deserves this one piece of architectural splendour. This is a big and fair plus to your greatness mr governor. As they say in low parlance, carry go - nothing do you sir.

One fascinating thing about this magnificent heaven is its location; strategically located in mockery of the poor. Your mansion will remind them to worship your kind of God, marry your kind of women and believe in your kind of belief. When they wake up everyday to see this best of the best, the pang in their stomach will gyrate not in hunger but in worm infestations.

If the dominante Igala people who have reigned supreme in the hierarchy of the Lugard House had built such a mansion in their land, their people would have been happy like your people of Ebiraland.

No! Instead of bringing heavens like you just did, they whimscally chose to build heavens in Abuja leaving their Igalaland to red muds and ego bloated youths. They towed a misdirected lane instead of the nee direction you are using to bring subdued progress to your people. They build hotels in Abuja while you build eye- catching opulence in Okene, though you also outsmarted them with your houses in Maitama, Asokoro, Ikoyi, Utako, Wuse, Dubai, a proposed private university in Benue and other Landed properties in Apapa converted by your excellecy. TWALE!!! You are indeed a digital hero - even with hunger in the land, atleast we can still go to your palatial empire to take selfie in hunger.

At all at all na him bad oh. If it's easy, let former Landlords of Lugard House show us their mansions in Ogbolicha, Omala and idah. You are a true son of your ancestors- only a trained child goes out to the field and brings harvest home. You are indeed Omoluabi of Anebira. I admire your lioness sir.

With such a mansion, we don't need any disturbing infrastructure like hospitals- no one with your edifice in their land fall sick , even with the rich stranded water in Lokoja, we dare not ask for pipe borne water, same way industries in Okene may cause disturbance or vibration to your heavily crafted crib.

This is what concealed youthfulness can give, it affords one unlimited affluence. It gives this shallow falsehood of accomplishment. By the time references of governance are made, you will come top in the ladder of esoteric measurement as that young governor who changed the governance narrative of Kogi. Like late Aguiyi Ironsi's walking stick, your swag stick shall speak for you as that young man who walked the veranda of governance with giat and swanky bravado.

Your boss in Aso rock will be too shy and ashamed to look into your eyes, your sight will remind him of his failure as a person. Do you know that even as a former governor, petroleum minister, head of state, head of lucrative PTF, the man couldn't build a mansion in Daura? He shouldn't begrudge you abeg- you showed him that in less than 2 years in government, one can build a massive abode. Congratulations my digital governor, this is how to go with directed governance.

All your traducers gritting, gnashing and grumbling of no salaries, tell them to come to Okene and see what you have used their toils for. They will mellow and wish you well and even dash you a second term in the Lugard House. Walahi you are better in utilisation of our commonwealth- far better than the landlords of yesterday who used their old age not to build mansions in their country homes nor buy American Ford utility vehicles for their aides. You are so generous that you don't swag alone but with your youngsters in low waist. That is called participatory chopping.

Once again, congratulations your excellency Mr governor for this milestone, the commissioning of your edifice. It is not easy to lead a people and not have where to retire to. I love your tactical dexterity- while the big boss was in kano commissioning 'disturbing' projects you led the rich, the super rich and the mega rich to commission your palace. They cheered you up in accelerated but ephemeral gusto as you cut the tape of your earthly heaven in the name of Allah, the beneficial and the merciful while the people you swore with the glorious Quran to make life easy for watched from afar in unmitigated grief.

Yours in shock,

Haruna Abdullahi

Fulani herdsmen steal his cow. How that one concern us? So he had policeman guarding his cow. Chai. We have suffer in nigeria. Who is magu to have a farm in abuja and then police will be guarding a house that he does not live in.
