For the umpteenth time, am constrained to respond to the the very hollow and ridiculous allegation by a negligible faction of ward and local government executives of the APC in Kogi State that Hon James Faleke was behind the vote of no confidence passed on Alhaji Yahaya Bello by the State Exco of the party last week.
Given the current hunger ravaging our dear state, one is not surprised to see the upsurge of state sponsored groups falling over themselves to give fake and ludicrous endorsements to a drowning administration that has thrown civility to the winds in all facets of governance.
We hereby reiterate once again that Hon Faleke has no hand in the vote of no confidence passed on Yahaya Bello by more than 99 percent of the State Exco! From what we know, the State Exco is peopled with patriotic men and women of integrity. Men who cannot be bought. Given the parlous situation in Kogi where nothing seems to be working, the State Exco members have proven beyond reasonable doubts that they mean well for the development of the State and would not sell their conscience for a mesh of pottage. The position of the State Exco is right now receiving rave reviews and commendations across the nation’s political space.
For the young men and women are being lured with elements of stomach infrastructure across the state to come to Lokoja to accuse Hon Faleke of being behind Bello’s travails, we can only pity their ignorance. For had they known that it was their future that was being protected by men of goodwill across the state, they would have been more restrained and circumspect in allowing themselves to be misled. For the temporary tenant of Lugard House, time is ticking!
