Yayaha Bello On Excursion In Kogi Government House - PDP

The attention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been drawn to a
comical event organized by the APC as the swearing in ceremony of one
Yahaya Bello, a man who did not participate in the overall election, as
Kogi state governor.

The said Yahaya Bello, who cannot claim the overall winning votes in the
election is therefore a shadow-chasing passerby on an excursion in Kogi
state government house, as the so-called swearing-in ceremony, having no
bearing from the votes at election is at best an APC function.

The people of Kogi are aware that the man being paraded by the APC is
not the person they exercised confidence in at the election as he scored
a paltry 6885 vote in the so-called supplementary election as against
the 204,877 votes polled by the PDP candidate, Alhaji Idris Wada in the
overall election.

However, as a law abiding party, we hereby urge our members and the
people of Kogi state to remain calm and not despair over this slap on
democracy as the courts would soon deliver justice with regard to the
authentic governor with the mandate of the majority at the election.
