Nseobong Okon-Ekong writes that Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has enthroned a reign of infamy that has brought disgrace to the much touted inclusion of youths in governance
Though Bello’s All Progressives Congress won the majority of seats in the state house of assembly election, the Peoples Democratic Party had a good showing in the national assembly elections, indicating that the impending governorship election in the state is open for a tough duel. Increasing pointers show that stakeholders in Kogi APC do not favour Bello flying the party’s gubernatorial flag.
The story is that the DG whose polling unit in Egbe’s results he is seeking is disappointing to him. He won the presidential elections in his unit for APC, delivered APC House of Representatives by a wide margin, and lost the Senatorial to PDP by one single vote. This result is one of the best in Kogi West outside Koto and some parts of Lokoja.
Yet the governor and his men believe they have earned a second term ticket and superiorly acquitted themselves because they delivered the president by the state voting overwhelmingly for President Buhari of APC in the 2019 presidential election. To use their hard earned and unpaid salaries to buy the only thing the electorate was worth, the only thing of value they see in people, their votes. They didn’t try to buy their votes by paying them their salaries just before elections from the monies already provided by the same President Buhari for that purpose, instead they perfected a dehumanizing handouts of N500, N1000, N2000 per voter to either induce them to vote, or reward them for voting.
