The forum of ex-political office holder across the 21 local governments of Kogi state has re-echoed their unalloyed support for Governor Yahaya Bello saying they are ready to defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) because the governor has done well for the people of Kogi state.
The forum while making their position known in a statement signed by its Chairman, Honourable Mosugu Charles and Secretary, Honourable Aminu Fasasi thanked the governor for his magnanimity and humane disposition to the immediate past political office holders by paying of their entitlements.
While noting that several frantic efforts have been made to pay him a courtesy call in view of his good work in the state, they humbly request the governor to also extend his generosity to their members who served their state tirelessly between 1999-2011 by paying all their outstanding salaries.
According to the statement, the forum stated that “it is on a sad note that we inform your excellency that some of our colleagues have passed on due to their inability to procure the needed drugs for their treatment. The forum is not in anyway holding your excellency culpable for this”.
