A political pressure group, Kogi Democratic Forum, KDF, has attributed the lingering legal actions that have trailed the emergence of Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State to those it identified as powerful external political forces outside the state.
The leader of the forum, Ozigi Omezie, in an interview with journalists in Abuja, weekend, expressed concerns that the forces were determined to impose their cronies on the state through the judiciary in order to plunder the resources of the state to the detriment of the people of the state.
He alleged that these forces would not stop at anything to derail the governor because of his commitment to the welfare and wellbeing of the people of the state, as well as his presumed closeness and unalloyed loyalty to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Omezie also claimed that one of the top leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, from the South-West had planned to infiltrate the judiciary with a view to scuttling the mandate given to Bello at the poll.
He, however, commended the judiciary for standing firm in the face of media onslaughts that had been launched against the judgment of the Election Petition Tribunal and Court of Appeal, Abuja, which all ruled in favour of Bello.
“What is happening in Kogi State is clearly engineered by some external forces outside the state,” he said.
