Kogi Patriotic Group (KPG) has berated Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello for calling the former Deputy Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon. James Faleke a diaspora politician.
In a statement signed by KPG spokesperson, Abdul Abdul, the group described the governor as the jester of the year for labeling an election-winning deputy governorship candidate.
“For a governor who is busy recruiting followers, associates and loyalists on a daily basis to make such unguarded statement smacks of desperation.
Faleke won elections in Kogi state but Bello did not. A governor who is not a registered voter in Kogi is calling Faleke who is duly registered in Kogi a diaspora politician?,” he said.
He challenged Kogi governor to conduct local government elections and see how Kogites will make a folly of him.
“Faleke is a great asset to Kogi state and Kogi people. He is more popular in the most populated area of the state, the east and a household name in both the central and western parts of the state.
“Faleke has carved a political niche for himself as an accessible, matured progressive and an embodiment of transparency and high level conduct rather than Bello’s opportunistic and overzealous display of kindergarten style of governance shrouded in glaring fraud, pen robbery and immature tendencies. As a fearless political enigma, Faleke has right to free association,” he added.
The group urged the lawmaker to discountenance the governor’s gimmicks to attract federal sympathy and attention.
