Protesters, under the aegis of Network of Kogi Youth Group, on Wednesday, stormed the National Secretariat of the ruling All Progressiv...
The group, which cut across the three Senatorial districts of the state, in a protest speech submitted to the National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole said, it is a risk to allow Governor Bello to fly the party’s ticket, considering his perceived numerous wrongs since his assumption of office.
The group itemized the lack of payment of salaries and none developmental projects as reasons that the governor should be stopped at all costs.
“Embezzlement of state funds in humongous proportion; introduction of anachronistic laws, which have heightened insecurity in the state as well as deaths of civil servants due to hardship,” Chairman of the group, Comrade Enejoh Odaudu Enemali said.
He added that, “Kogi State wants continuity of APC, but not with Alhaji Yahaya Bello,” asserting that the governor has failed to prove his mettle in the last three years.
He further explained that the APC must not use the last elections to judge the chances of the party if Bello was given a ticket, saying that the party’s albatross lies with Bello flying the ticket.
He disclosed that the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kogi State was waiting in the wings to stage a come-back if Bello eventually emerged as the flagbearer.
