A group ‘Igala Frontier” has described the 8 years of Bello as Governor of Kogi state as a “monumental disaster” for the state and its people.
In a press statement issued by the group and jointly signed by the president Alex Adejoh and Yakubu Ojonugwa,
The group observed that Bello’s “acts of impunity” is increasing because he is “using the state resources to corrupt structures making him to feel what ever he does, he can always get away by using money to buy his way”.
The group said because he is using the state resources, he is squandering it to bribe some institutions to perpetrate evils
On the just concluded APC primaries, the group called on Igalas to resist Bello’s imposed candidate by ensuring that his plan to colonize Igala does not stand.
The group queries why Bello will sit and conduct primaries in secret and allocate figures saying it is an insult on Igalas.
Concluding, the group commended the aspirants from Igala extraction that took civilized step by going to court to seek redress saying they will not however be surprised if he buys his way to get the satanic primaries confirmed but we warn that APC should forget Igalas vote during the November gubernatorial election, saying we can not be fooled by Bello again.
However, the state information Commissioner, Kingsley Fanwo said that
Igala Frontiers is a group within the Igala nation. The Igala nation is a very dynamic people who occupies an important part of the history of our nation.
“Kogi State is no longer under the influence of ethnic chauvinism. Governor Yahaya Bello has provided the kind of leadership that collapsed those walls”.
According to him,”We are one united Kogi people and we will go forward with the New Direction blueprint with Alh. Ododo Ahmed Usman.
There is no Igala party. The people of Igala like other ethnic nationalities in Nigeria belongs to different political parties and will support their parties.
Our party did very well in Igala land in the February and March elections. Same will be repeated in November”. Fanwo noted.
