Elder statesman and national leader of the Pan-Niger Delta Forum, (PANDEF) Chief Edwin Clark, has stated that the disposition of Kogi State Governor, Ahmed Ododo, showed that his predecessor, Yahaya Bello, was still in power.
Yahaya Bello is the immediate past governor of Kogi State.
The elder statesman made this known while speaking in an interview on Arise TV on Thursday, nitong that the government of the former Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State was rough, and marred with corruption and killings.
He explained that Bello was just being stubborn, after having run a rough governance in the state.
He said, “Yahaya Bello is just being stubborn. He has been living very very rough, having a very rough government, corruption, killing of people in the place during elections and so on.
“There’s time for everything and it has come for him to answer questions. He should go to court. He should go to court to answer the substance of the case, where did he get the money from?
“Is it true or not that the money he paid to the American School belongs to him or belongs to the government of Kogi State?
“The behaviour of the new governor shows Yahaya Bello is in power for the third term. Ahmed Ododo is just running after him.
“I just want to plead with Ododo to do the needful so that the youth in this country will have something to fall upon.”
The Pan Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF, asked Bello to surrender himself to the authorities.
