How Yahaya Bello stole our common patrimony-Senator Dino Melaye

By section 24 of the constitution  of the federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), it is the duty of every Nigerian to make positive  and useful contributions  to the advancement,  progress and well-being of the community  where he resides.
The anti-corruption campaigns of the present administration will be strengthened when we become  more interested in budget monitoring.
The governor Yahaya Bello led administration has not been fair to the good people of Kogi State simply because we have neglected our responsibility  of monitoring the budgetary allocation and provisions of the government.
From this pull-out from the 2017 budget of Kogi State,  it is clear that Yahaya Bello has raped kogites of our common patrimony.

- Travelling Allowances (70,000,000),

This pull-out is mainly as it affect Kogi West senatorial district and our people should begin to check if any of the above listed project have been executed or ongoing in the district, yet there was budgetary provision and the 2017 budget have just two months to expire.
We must rescue Kogi State from this Dictator who publicly admitted in a program transmitted by AIT yesterday that he is a dictator. We all put together are bigger than Yahaya Bello and his directionless Govt. if I die I die. We must recover our state from thieves and economic termites. No amount of blackmail,lies,intimidation and harassment will detract my attention from championing responsible and fiscal discipline. Pay our workers NOW!!!!!!We shall overcome.
