Our attention has been drawn to the unfortunate incident, which occurred after the Jumaat Prayer at the Lokoja Central Mosque to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the creation of Kogi State.
It was discovered that some sponsored miscreants caused a mild drama as they were caught with stones while one of them attacked one of the security aides attached to the Government House shortly after the Governor departed the area.
The gallant market women at the Lokoja Old Market accosted the perpetrators and stopped them from absconding from the scene in solidarity with the Governor.
The Governor wishes to thank the market women and security agencies, who rose to the occasion to protect lives and property at the scene of the unfortunate incident. No life was lost and no serious injury was recorded.
We can also confirm that arrests have been made and those arrested are already giving useful information to security agents investigating the politically motivated attack at the Mosque.
Governor Yahaya Bello has also urged his supporters to remain calm and not take the law into their hands as he remained committed to the cardinal ideals of his administration. Imported and sponsored miscreants, who have infiltrated the state from neighbouring states should know that Kogi is prepared to protect her citizens from desperate politicians who think they can turn the state to a war zone. The people of Kogi will be protected.
We are not unaware of scheming by change resistors to sponsor attacks against government officials. The staff verification exercise has come to stay because it has exposed powerful forces, who have been milking the state dry. Sponsoring attacks against the Governor will not stop our march to restore sanity to the polity.
The administration of Governor Yahaya Bello will soon publish the names of corrupt citizens of the state who are behind the Ghost Workers syndrome.
Governor Yahaya Bello thanks the people of the state for standing resolutely behind his administration to restore the lost glory of the state.
Signed
Kingsley Fanwo
Chief Press Secretary to the Governor

ReplyDeleteMtcheeww stupid government. Who cares if dem stone you it seems you don't know the suffering you are putting people through. Collecting monthly allocation yet you refuse to pay salary. The bail out you collected you paid state workers 4months salary, local government 3months while teachers receive percentage again whether na 55 or 60% self, what happen to the remaining balance of the bail out. The whole state is turn upside down all the allocation you have been collecting what are you using it for people that don't have issue during screening are still not paid yet. Celebrating 25yrs indeed. Years of suffering and bad governance
ReplyDeleteDamn! This guy can lie sha
ReplyDeleteStella no body is a supporter of yahaya Bello in kogi state, he was stoned, market women follow join too. He hasn't paid salary since March nd allocation keeps coming in every month. I wish he was killed sef useless man, my mum hasn't been paid 1kobo, it's just God that's making us alive nd well. 2016 is so not a good yr.
Stella there's a video footage currently circulating to attest to the fact that he was actually booed by kogi Indegenes. He should please do the needful because the suffering of the civil servants is becoming unbearable. God bless you.
ReplyDeleteKogi and Kwara people matter is tiring. When it's time to vote, they vote in incompetent buffoons and thieves and later start stoning them. How about you guys vote in reasonable people next time
ReplyDeletePay workers
