Governor Yahaya Bello has described the opposition party’s desperation to taint his imageas kicks of a dying horse. He said only those who shared the loans meant to empower women and youth are candidates of jails.
Bello who was responding to the statement credited to the People Democratic party (PDP) in the state that he will be sentence to prison after the expiration of his tenure maintained that his transparent nature while in office will always vindicate him.
The governor, who spoke through his Director General Media and Publicity, Kingsley Fanwo said his administration has displayed glowing transparency and cherubic financial probity since inception.
“Financial bumps are erected in the financial management system in the state to ensure compliance with global best practices.
“Where were the PDP leaders when we published what we have received and how we have judiciously used our incomes? Has PDP explained why it stole the commonwealth of the Kogi people? Have they explained to us why they took loans and stole the bulk of them while expending the rest on non-productive projects that are abandoned across Abuja and Kogi State?
“PDP’s desperation to taint the image of the Governor is borne out of their dream of stopping ongoing efforts at recovering what they looted from our coffers,” he said.
On the position of PDP on the re-election chances of President Muhammadu Buhari in Kogi State, Bello urged the opposition party to go back to the political mirror to check their state.
“Governor Yahaya Bello is immensely popular across the state and that was showcased during the recently held solidarity rallies across the state. I sympathize with PDP. They were shocked by the show of support.
“It is important for the dying horse to continue to kick. PDP will go into final oblivion in 2019 in Kogi State,” he added.
