Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, has snubbed the ongoing 2017 edition of Kabba Day over fear of been attacked by angry state workers who are currently being owed over 15months salaries by the Governor.
It was gathered that the governor made series of enquiry to ascertain if Senator Dino Melaye will be attending the occasion so as to avoid face-off with the senator who was recently viewed as the voice of the impoverished Civil servants.
The timid governor who was initially assured of non attendance of Senator Dino Melaye quickly jump to his feet to attend the occasion especially with further assurance that Honorable Abiodun Faleke, the Man with unbeatable popularity amongst his Okun kinsman will equally stay off to morn the Son of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
Luck ran out of the governor when he arrived Kabba, precisely Otu junction under cashew trees and was informed of the presence of Senator Dino Melaye at the venue of the occasion. The confused governor quickly rushed to the nearest hotel which belong to the speaker Kogi State House of Assembly and directed his boys to go as invade the venue of the occasion.
All attempt to persuade His Excellency to come and attend the occasion proved abortive even as he directed the closure of all roads leading to the hotel to forestall Senator Dino Melaye leading the already frustrated civil servants on a protest.
When the KDU representative contacted the speaker to persuade the governor to come out from his hideout, he responded with a satire in Kabba language that "osika iha lokehonole" meaning; an evil doer run when no body pursues him. The speaker satire made the organiser to give up their persuasion and equally applaud the speaker for not queuing behind the government who was responsible for civil servants recently committing suicide as a result of non payment of their entitlements.
The climax of the embarrassing moment for the governor was when Senator Dino Melaye delivered his speech and decided to leave the venue to allow the timid governor come out from his hideout when the governor attack machineries mostly from the eastern senatorial district decided to attack the senator but was immediately resisted by the angry civil servant.
Dino tactically beats Yahaya Bello by bringing cash of three million naira as his contribution, but GYB in his usual fraudulent style decided to make the type of pledge he made during his primaries when he distributed N100K scratch card to each delegates which he never redeemed till date.
