Senator Dino Melaye has claimed that Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi
State, is planning to assassinate him, for fighting for the state’s
workers and pensioners.
Melaye stated this while addressing women of his senatorial district,
who embarked on a peaceful protest at Aiyetoro-Gbede on Saturday.
The Senator said workers and pensioners in Kogi were suffering and
dying, following the non-payment of 15-month salaries and pensions by
Governor Bello.
“Yahaya Bello collected N20bn from the Federal Government as bailout
fund. Still, he refused to settle workers. He also collected N11bn from
the Paris Club fund. Still, he refused to pay workers and pensioners.
“Children can no longer go to school. Tenants can no longer pay their
house rent. Enough is enough, the people of Kogi State are tired of
this government.
“The advent of Yahaya Bello as governor and Taofiq Isa as local
government administrator in the political history of Kogi State has
brought this unfortunate socio-political paradigm shift,” Melaye said.
