-Buhari’s name won’t save him – Melaye
Some serving senators, House of Representatives members, political leaders and activists from Kogi state, led by Senator Dino Melaye, have formed a coalition known as Safe Kogi Project (SKP) to ensure the removal of Governor Yahaya Bello.
The group, which its membership cut across all the political parties, civil society organisations and other professionals, however, said the group was formed also to address what they called prevailing adverse social, political and economic issues bedevilling the state.
Director-General of the group, Comrade Friday Sani, told newsmen at a press conference yesterday in Abuja that the state, under the current administration the state had come to “a messy situation, where the government has become directionless, aimless and lack commitment to the people and the future of the development of the state.”
“Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi state is just simply failing on a noble responsibility, and his anti-peoples conduct in Kogi state must be addressed and corrected for the future benefit of our people. The Save Kogi Project is, therefore, a child of circumstance. It is devoid of political party sentiment, tribal and religious differences.”
Some other political leaders present at the conference include; Senator Muhammed Ohiare, Senator Atai Aidoko, Dr. Arome Salifu, Comrade Kabir Tijani and Hon. Tom Ohikeru, among others.
Also speaking, Chairman of the Board of Trustees (BOT) and Senator representing Kogi west, Dino Melaye, accused the leadership of APC under Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, of supporting the governor’s ‘illegality.’ He, however, assured the governor that President Muhammadu Buhari’s name can’t save him from the people’s wrath.
