Bello’s imminent face-off with the National Secretariat of the APC is not unconnected with a string of petitions by individuals and groups against him. The petitioners are warning about the consequences of fielding Bello as the candidate, because his style of leadership has alienated him from stakeholders within and outside the party. Some of the petitioners demanded that Bello should not be given a second term ticket.
In its protest letter to the party’s national leadership, the group highlighted various anti-people activities of the administration, including suicidal deaths amongst the state civil servants whose salaries have not been paid for many months, misuse of state resources, hunger and perceived molestation of people perceived not to be supporters of the government.
The KRM, who decried the dearth of public institutions in the state, also told APC national leadership that workers have been turned to internally displaced persons without recourse to dignity of labour, as enshrined in the labour acts. He said: “We are calling on President Muhammadu Buhari, the APC National Working Committee led by Comrade Adams Oshiomole and the National Leader, Sen. Bola Tinubu, not to risk the ticket of the APC for Yahaya Bello.
The letter by its General Secretary, Mr. Atekojo Usman, urged the AGF to authenticate the inflow of funds to the administration from January 2016 till date. The group, an umbrella body to numerous socio-cultural and political groups, said the move was in the interest of the people. It is not immediately certain who among those currently positioning themselves to take over from Bello in the APC has got the nod of the APC kingmakers. What is certain is that the plot against the governor thickened last week with the official declaration by former Chief of Naval Staff, Admiral Jibrin Usman, to contest for the APC platform. The decision by him to run on the APC platform came as a surprise to many who expected him to join the PDP.
