The Governor of Kogi State,
Yahaya Bello, has said he cannot work with Senator Dino Melaye, the lawmaker
representing Kogi West district in the National Assembly, because their
ideologies for joining politics are different.
This was stated by Kingsley
Fanwo, the Director-General of Media and Publicity to the Governor while
responding to claims by the Senator challenging Bello to invite President
Muhammadu Buhari to the state to commission projects.
Recall that Melaye
had claimed that the Governor is yet to initiate and complete any project since
assuming power more than three years ago.
However, a statement by Fanwo at
the weekend stated that while Governor Bello is in politics to develop the
state, Melaye’s intention for coming into politics is to allegedly share money
and blackmail others.
He said, “On Dino Melaye, we
always try to avoid giving him undue attention. The ideologies are different.
Yahaya Bello is in politics to develop, Melaye is in politics to share and
blackmail.
“So, there is a very sharp
difference between the two of them and that is why it is difficult for the two
of them to work together because the ideologies are quite different.”
He, however, appealed to Melaye
not to plunge the state into crisis with his governorship ambition.
“Now that Melaye said he wants to
be governor and he is campaigning, I hope he will give peace a chance and not
throw our state into crisis because as a government, we have invested so much
insecurity and whenever there is crisis, it always leads to a reversal of the
gains we’ve recorded in the area of security of lives of our people,” he said.
