Kogi’s Governor-elect, Yahaya Bello, has
distanced himself from the arrest of his
running mate, James Abiodun Faleke and
Muhammed Audu, by the Department of
State Services (DSS).
Bello, in a statement through his Media
Office on Sunday, said he never sent a
petition against the duo to the DSS.
“The allegation that I sent a petition to the
DSS is an absolute falsehood and nothing
can be further from the truth.
“I did not send any petition to the security
department to invite Honorable Faleke. The
insinuations that I might have written a
petition to push for their invitation is
absolute falsehood. Nothing can be further
from the truth,” the Governor-elect
stressed.
He noted that the DSS under its current
leadership has proven to be a highly
professional body and therefore can not be
pushed around by any single individual or
group.
He urged the members of All Progressive
Congress (APC) and Kogites in general to
continually seek for amicable resolution of
issues in the interest of the state.
According to the statement “Honorable
Faleke is a respected member of APC who
has made his own contribution to the
success of our party. Instigating his arrest
can not be a part of the reconciliatory
moves and peace-building efforts that we
have initiated ahead of our January 27th
inauguration.
“As we count down towards this historic
inauguration of our Change government, our
focus remains the enactment of responsive
and responsible leadership for Kogi citizens
who have reposed their trust in our party.
“We are determined to deliver the dividends
of democracy to our persevering and
patriotic people at the fastest speed. At
last a new Kogi is born with a triple belief
in peace, harmony and all round
development,” the Governor-elect added.
