Kogi state governor, Yahaya Bello is not happy at all. The governor has unleashed his anger on the party's state chapter for passing a vote on no confidence on him as he said no right thinking person would do so.

 

The governor who spoke on Tuesday in Abuja said that those who passed the vote on him were out to pull down his administration.

 

"I don't think there is any right-thinking person at this moment to judge what I have done, wrong or right, because our administration is barely three months. Those who feel that the state activities should continue as usual, whether in the opposition party or in my party, are those who want to continue to hold the state down. And I say this is a divine moment that God has brought me to this position. I must do what God will be pleased with me and indeed the good people of Kogi state.

"So far so good, I don't think they really understand what it takes to be a politician; not just self-serving, but to serve the people to the best of one's ability. That's what we're trying to do now. So, anybody that is saying anything contrary is just trying to be self-centred, but we are not ready for that", the governor said.

 

Responding on the chaos rocking the State House of Assembly, he stated: "I still maintain my position that there is no crisis in the Kogi State House of Assembly.”

 

He said: "Political challenge in the sense that there are those who have held the state down over the years and they're not ready to let go. They're hell-bent on making sure that the state continues to remain in abject poverty and retrogression. But by the special grace of God, we're up to the task, and we'll do our best to make sure we surmount all the pressure.”

 

He said his administration would look into the management of the state's internally generated revenue over the year with a view to knowing why his predecessors could not "augment the little we're able to provide."
