The Senator representing Kogi State West, Dino Melaye has told Governor Yahaya Bello that using the name of President Muhammadu Buhari would not help him from being defeated in the 2019 governorship poll.
Senator Dino Melaye, who spoke today, Tuesdya, at the launch of Safe Kogi Project (SKP) coalition in Lokoja, said: “Muhammadu Buhari’s name is not, will not and can never be immunity for any governor. It is sad that he (Governor Yahaya Bello) doesn’t even know who Muhammadu Buhari is.
“The President will not support killings, stealing and when it is time for prosecution, I want to believe that his lawyers will use the President’s name to defend himself in court.”
The Senator, who also accused the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), John Odigie-Oyegun of supporting illegality in Kogi state, stressed that Yahaya Bello has been in the habit of hiding under President Buhari’s integrity and using his name to carry out misdeeds in Kogi State.
“It is sad to note that instead of embarking on development projects in the state, the governor has been parading and using the President’s name, thinking Buhari’s name is a special immunity.” [myad]
