Former President of the Customary Court of Appeal, Justice Moses Bello (rtd) has allegedly been dragged to the aftermath of the 2019 Kogi Central senatorial elections which has been witnessing a lot of controversies, accusations and counter accusations on malpractices and election result manipulations.

Whilst the INEC Returning Officer in charge of the District went ahead to declare the Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Alh. Yakubu Oseni as the winner of the election, the Candidate of the Social Democratic Party, Barr. Natasha Hadiza Akpoti has vowed to challenge the results at the Election Tribunal. That which she said would give her the opportunity to reclaim the stolen mandate of the people of Kogi Central who came out en-mass in the face of intimidations and harassment to vote her party for the greater vision she has for them.

A source who wished to be anonymous revealed to our correspondent that while the SDP Candidate is preparing her case to tender before the Tribunal, a renowned figure from the district who happened to be former President of the Customary Court of Appeal, Justice Moses Bello, is holding a secret plan to compromise the Tribunal and influence judgment in favor of the APC Candidate who many have perceived to be on likely losing end due to too many irregularities traceable to his party and  his supporters.

The plan was said to have emerged from a secret meeting the elder statesman held with Governor Yahaya Bello at the Kogi State Government House, Lokoja in appreciation of the Governor over his son, Asuku Bello who was given the APC House of Reps ticket and declared winner for Adavi/Okehi Federal Constituency in the last National Assembly Elections.

Our correspondent equally gathered that many elders from the district who got to know about this unhealthy plan have thrown serious caution on the person of Justice Bello.

They have advised Justice Bello not to allow his hard earned reputation to be destroyed in the name of political interest and offers from the guy New Direction Government in the state.

One of the elders was said to have cautioned Justice Bello, “we have known you for good and you have over time built your name in the heart of our people. With or without political gains, Ebira people will ever live to appreciate you for your positive contribution to the growth of the land. Don’t allow Governor Yahaya Bello to drag you and your respected family into his already sinking ship of evil deeds. Allow him carry his cross and don’t bear his sins for him. Remember how he denied you a chance to hold a prayer session upon your retirement. A high profile like you for that matter. All your disappointed friends and followers that were injured in that incident are still watching your steps carefully to know how much you value them too.

“That humiliation alone is enough to tell you the character you are dinning with. If our people get to know that you are the one that deny them their choice of good representation, they would never be happy with you”, the elder said.
