Group Criticize Buhari, APC’s ‘Conspiracy Of Silence’ Over Kogi Misfortune
Some APC stakeholders in Kogi State, yesterday, criticised President Muhammadu Buhari and the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party over what they described as “sorry affairs under Gov. Yahaya Bello.”
The stakeholders, under the auspices of Kogi Emancipation Movement (KEM), decried alleged “conspiracy of silence” on the part of the president and the APC NWC amid alleged complaints bordering on non-payment of salaries which had led to some deaths and mis-governance under the Bello-led government.
The group, in a statement issued yesterday in Lokoja by its convener, Apostle Eniola Williams, said it was “strange” that Buhari and other leaders of the party at the national and state levels continued to show public support for Bello despite his alleged non-performance and “incompetence.”
The group said, “We, therefore, warn that APC will be thoroughly defeated if it fields Gov. Yahaya Bello for the November 16, 2019, governorship poll in the state.
“He has done or said nothing to earn his party’s offer of right of first refusal.”
The group, therefore, urged President Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Adams Oshiomhole, other APC governors, National Leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as well as stalwarts from the state such as Hajiya Salamatu Baiwa, Barr. Babatunde Irukera and Folashade Joseph to be wary of allowing the party’s flag going into the hand of an “unpopular candidate” ahead of the forthcoming election.
