The Kogi Emancipation Network in Diaspora (KEMD) has described those accusing Kogi State governor, Alh Yahaya Bello of fraud as faceless and trying to destabilize ongoing development witness in the state.
The group refuted online report accusing the Governor of fraud saying it was sponsored by the bitter opposition figures in the state within and outside the ruling party who had resulted in pulling down the governor after failing to hijack political power in the state.
Reacting to the allegations against the governor, Secretary General of KEMD, Otunba Jacob Bayo said, all the issues raised in the online report, were unfounded, baseless myth and should be discarded with immediate effect.
According to him, governor Bello met an empty treasury with huge debts profile including unpaid workers salary of five months, contractors etc. Bayo said when Bello was sworn in, the state needed about 50 billion naira to settle the huge debts owed workers.
He said the governor moved quickly in order to ameliorate the suffering of the state workers by approaching the necessary authorities for bail out and was only able to access N20b.
“And since then, all genuine workers have all received their salary at both the state and the LGAs leading to the called-off of the strike embarked upon by the state union.
“This faceless oppositions group are desperate for power, resulting to “pull him down syndrome”
The group said since assuming office, Governor Bello has institutionalised transparency and good governance in the running of the state affairs.
He stressed the need for politicians in the state to set the record straight rather than misleading the public for selfish reason, all in the name of politics.
The group advice the governor to remain focus and continue to impacts on the life of the people rather than being distracted by any faceless, selfish group, whose inordinate aims is to create confusion in the state for cheap political gains.
