Kogi Governor Released N500m State funds for Anambra Election.

Kogi Government  Expend Chunk of State Funds  For Anambra Election

Billions of  naira ‎tax payers money was moved from the coffers of kogi government by the present leadership of Yahaya Bello in support of APC candidate in the forthcoming governorship  election in Anambara state

‎This was hinged on the large entourage and retinue of aides and thugs ferried to anambara at the expense of kogi people and civil servants whose salaries has not been paid in the last 22 months 

It was reliably gathered that monies meant for workers salaries agreed by the NLC and the state government to call of six weeks old strike payable this week ‎before the suspension of the strike by state workers was not honoured,but in his usual character,few ones were paid to enable them feed the media with outrageous figures

As at press time,the hardship inflicted on kogians over inability to access their monthly salaries and refusal of government to honour it's obligations had taking another critical dimension as some political appointees of the government also grumble in silence over their  plight and kogians

It was reliably gathered that governor Bello mopped up all available funds in the state coffers to mobilise thugs and logistics similar to his action in Edo and Ondo envisaging the extension of same gesture to the unpopular government in his reelection bid in 2019

Kogi governor promised the cash strapped APC national sectariat ‎of adequate arrangement for logistic,unforeseen circumstances  and other contingencies to ensure the candidate of the party is imposed on anambariaans inspite of glaring rejection by the people of the state

The governor who secured truce on his knees from the state labour last ‎week complaining of paucity of funds,suddenly turned to one of the major sponsors of Anambra election with backlog of unpaid salaries  while displaying father Christmas like conduct on his way by making a stoppage at various point to dole out cash to elderly people in kogi east at the expense of their working/starved children

This week gone by,over 90 percent of the state workers have not received their entitlements In the last 22 months while some insignificant percentage is yet to be paid since July as against his promise to pay one month across board

With the year fast running out‎,only providence will predict a well spent yuletide away from the bleak situation been witnessed by the workers and pensioners in kogi in the last 23 months due to inconsistencies of government policies and programs.
