The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), at the weekend blasted Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State, telling the governor to refrain from celebrating non-existent excitements of his leadership of the state in the over five years of his administration. The PDP chided Governor Bello for celebrating ‘ghost’ achievements in Kogi State.
The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, noted that Governor Yahaya Bello is a colossal failure and catastrophic bad luck, adding that the governor cannot point to any development project he implemented for the benefit of the people.
Ologbondiyan on a tour of PDP structures in Kogi State decried that Governor Bello has “stagnated and turned Kogi into the most backward state in the country, with so much devastation, infrastructural decay, poverty and institutionalized hopelessness”. The PDP National Publicity Secretary noted what he considered a “hopeless lie”, the false news being spread by the Kogi State government that he commended Governor Yahaya Bello on a road project; he stated that such “cannot even happen in their pipe dream as Yahaya Bello has done absolutely nothing to merit any form of commendation”.
Ologbondiyan declared: “It is, indeed, pathetic that Yahaya Bello has resorted to fake news in his desperate forum shopping for unmerited approval. The resort to fake news has further exposed his childishness and pathetic desperation to use patriotic Nigerians in his search for undeserved endorsement.
“I have but pity for Yahaya Bello and I advise him to desist from such childishness and irresponsible actions. There is nothing to commend him about. Nothing! He has brought only pain, hardship and stagnation to Kogi State.”
The PDP National Publicity Secretary cautioned Governor Yahaya Bello to “repent and utilize the resources of the people of Kogi State for their benefit, including infrastructural recovery as well as paying workers and pensioners whose salaries and entitlements have been wickedly withheld for years.”
Ologbondiyan appealed to the people of Kogi State, and Nigerians at large, “to continue in rallying with the PDP, particularly, as the party opens its e-registration exercise in furtherance of the collective effort to rescue the nation from the lies, misrule and stranglehold of the All Progressives Congress (APC).”
