As Governor Yahaya Bello’s tenure in Kogi State approaches its final days, a series of controversial decisions by the outgoing governor have stirred discussions and raised concerns within and outside the state.
Bello, who is set to hand over to his chosen successor, Usman Ododo, on January 27, has taken drastic measures since the recent gubernatorial election, won by Ododo. The decisions, affecting paramount rulers, members of his cabinet, and party stakeholders, are believed to be in response to perceived betrayal and involvement in partisan politics during the election.
While some praise Bello’s decisive actions, others question the wisdom of such moves as he nears the end of his administration. The governor’s post-election chastisement has resulted in the sidelining of key figures, including the deputy governor, chief of staff, and accountant-general, with no official explanation provided.
The aftermath of Bello’s stern measures has led to speculation and, in one instance, an unfortunate incident involving the manhandling of a senator alleged to have betrayed the party, prompting the governor to condemn the act and order arrests.
The unfolding situation raises uncertainties about the potential impact on his successor and the state’s political landscape.
