…Says Melaye knows people behind his ‘problem’
Gov. Yahaya Bello of Kogi has said that his administration is working hard to bring the state to an enviable height, saying that it would soon catch up with Lagos state in terms of development.
He stated this while speaking with newsmen at the end of a meeting between members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Working Committee (NWC) and Governors elected on its platform on Thursday night.
“Kogi state is moving, it has woken up from its slumber and it’s on the verge of taking off to fly.
“We are not just walking or running, we are about to fly, Kogi is really working and it’s moving.
“As Ambassador of youth, am providing good leadership in Kogi and in no distant time, we are going to see that Kogi will catch up with Lagos by the grace of God,“he said.
He maintained that there was no political crisis in the state as was been perceived in some quarters, adding that the state was very stable.
He, however, said that he was not behind the travails of Senator Dino Melaye, the embattled lawmaker representing Kogi West in Senate.
Members of the Senator`s constituency had recently, asked for his recall, citing instances of misconduct which they said was unbecoming of a lawmaker.
“Am not behind his problems, he should know who is behind his problems, “Governor Bello said.
Speaking on the current agitation from different parts of the country for restructuring the country, Bello advised youths to be patient with the Federal Government.
He also urged youths in the country to believe in their ability, stressing that all they needed was a good leadership which according to him, President Mohamadu Buhari was already offering.
He called on Nigerians to continue to support the Federal Government while they remained law abiding citizens.
Recall that the APC NWC recently constituted a fact finding and reconciliation committee to investigate the crisis in the Kogi chapter of the party.
The committee which was headed by Chief Tony Momoh, former National Chairman of the defunct Congress for Progressives Change (CPC), had since submitted its findings to the APC leadership
