The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kogi State has
allegedly accused the State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, of
wasting over N5 billion public fund on his failed plot to recall
the Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial district of the
State, Dino Melaye.
The party, which described Governor Yahaya Bello as, “heartless”
lamented that the over N5 billion would have paid at least two
months salaries of workers in the State.
Reacting to the boycott of the Saturday’s INEC verification
exercise by the electorate, the PDP in a statement signed by Achadu
Dickson, Director Research and Documentation, called for thorough
investigation of the claim by some of the electorates who turned
out for the exercise that their signatures were forged.
“Those who were involved in the petition submitted to INEC for
the recall of Senator Dino Melaye must be arrested and tried for
forgery,” the PDP said.
The party said the huge human and financial resources deployed
to the “Dino Melaye must go” agenda would have made meaningful
impact on the lives of the downtrodden in Kogi State, especially
the workers that are being owed several months salary.
It declared that the open rejection of the recall agenda by the
people of Kogi State was a clear signal that APC and Governor
Yahaya Bello have been rejected in the State.
Reacting to the allegations, the chief press secretary to the
Kogi State governor, Petra Akiti Oyegbule, said it is unfortunate
that the main opposition party is coming out with another bunch of
lies.
She maintained that, the Governor has no interest in the recall
of the embattled senator.
“It is high time media houses start holding people responsible
and accountable for what they say. Right now, it goes beyond
politics. It’s our responsibility, because people cannot just
continue to fabricate issues when there are none. The governor will
not be interested in spending any amount on Dino Melaye’s
recall.
