Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has said that the state has woken up from slumber and is set to fly in terms of physical development.
He said: “Kogi state is moving; it has woken up from its slumber and it is on the verge of taking off to fly. We are not just walking or running; we are about to fly. Kogi is really working and it’s moving.”
Governor Yahaya Bello made these remarks today when he spoke to news men at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, shortly after observing Friday Jum’at prayer.
He said that with ongoing efforts to take the state to an enviable height, it would soon catch up with Lagos State.
“As an ambassador of the youth, I’m providing good leadership in Kogi and in no distant time, we are going to see that Kogi will catch up with Lagos by the grace of God.”
According to him, there is no political crisis in the state, contrary to speculations in some quarters.
He said that the state was very stable even as he denied having a hand in the travails of Senator Dino Melaye, the embattled lawmaker representing Kogi West in the Senate.
“I’m not behind his problems. He should know who is behind his problems.” [myad]
