Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya
Bello, on Friday said he was on “a divine mission” to curb corruption,
waste and mismanagement of resources.
Bello spoke with State House
correspondents shortly after joining President Muhammadu Buhari to offer
Jumat prayers inside the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He was reacting to a recent verdict of the Court of Appeal which upheld his election.
“They (people of the state) should expect development, prosperity and good governance all the way,” he said.
The governor described the court judgement as a confirmation of “divine ruling” by God.
He extended the olive branch to his
opponents, especially a member of the House of Representatives, Mr.
James Faleke, to join him in the task of building the state which he
said was in a big mess when he assumed duties.
He said, “I have extended olive branch
to my opponents on several occasions and at this time, I am extending it
again to my brother, Hon. James Faleke, to let us join hands together
to lift Kogi State.
“The state was in a big mess as of the
time we came on board. He should join hands with me to save the state
from the claws of those who had held it down over the years.”
Bello denied knowledge of any rift between the executive and legislature in the state.
“There has never been any face-off
between the executive and the legislature. There has always been
misunderstanding in every legislative house and Kogi State is not an
exception. As of today, we have one united Kogi Assembly,” he said.
