Kogi: Bello cautions traditional rulers over hosting intruders

The governor made this known while hosting First and Second Class traditional rulers from across the 21 Local Governments of the state to discuss issues bordering on security, particularly as the electioneering season is drawing close.

“We are approaching the season of elections; you all are connected within and outside the state and have sons and daughters who are interested in contesting for elections on the platforms of various political parties. We need peace, security, tranquillity and cooperation in this season,” he noted. The governor expressed that it was his responsibility to ensure that lives and livelihood are secured and protected, reiterating that the state under the current dispensation has made gains in security and safety as against past governments, hence any exhibition of alien traits by any person would face measurable response from the government.

He stated that within the provisions of the law, he would not condone any act of criminality, violence and brigandage, in the upcoming political dispensation while urging them to caution sons and daughters of their community cutting across political parties as the government would not listen to anyone when dealing with those caught initiating or sponsoring violence.

Governor Bello noted that outside his administration’s plan to improve infrastructure, unity, cooperation and inclusivity were remarkable footprints he wanted his administration to be remembered for while he urged every traditional stakeholder to cooperate with his government in achieving such a goal.
