…how can Bello escape the sledge hammer of electorates in 2019?
The former acting governor of Kogi state and one time member Board of Trustees of All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Clarence Olafemi has announced that he is joining the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
Olafemi made this known while addressing newsmen in Lokoja on Sunday.
The former Speaker, Kogi State House of Assembly said himself and all his supporters across the state are joining PDP because there was no sincerity in the reconciliation of APC in Kogi.
He said they reached the conclusion to defect because the state governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello has decided to drive the original members of APC from the party. He also noted that the national body of the party cannot be trusted.
“Shortly after my return from abroad, my political group held meeting and we resolved on three options, the first option was to wait for the outcome of reconciliation initiated by APC at national level whether it will pacify our members.
“Some members who were not satisfied with the option said were of the opinion that neither the state governor Alhaji Yahaya Bello nor the party leadership at Abuja can not be trusted because there was is several reconciliation committees , but nothing comes of them at the end of the tunnel.
“The second option of his political group was to moved to APDA, a new political party, but the party may not be able to make impact as a result of funding and other factors associated with a new party.
“The third option was to move to the People Democratic Party since it was our former party that we defected from and we can not be new there. My supporters intended to wait till December this year, but when the party announced their wards and local government congresses, my supporters across the three senatorial districts of the state moved enmass to PDP in order to be part of the Congress.
“The broadcast made by Governor Bello during the 2017 independent day cerebration where the governor said that he does not regret any of his action taken and has no apology for any body on the appointment made so far, has further convinced us that the governor can not be trusted.
He recalled that it was only two months of salaries Late Abubakar Audu and Captain Idris Wada owed when they lost re-election in 2003 and 2015 respectively and wondered how Governor Bello would be able to escape the sledge hammer of the electorate in 2019 governorship election in Kogi state.
