Kogi Not Against Buhari's Administration - Bello

Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has dismissed as untrue, allegations in some quarter that the people of Kogi State are against the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The governor said in contrary, the people of the state are in support of the anti-corruption crusade of the President and other initiatives of his administration.
The governor who was reacting to a statement credited to the Deputy Speaking of the State House of Assembly, Aliyu Akuh, on the state of the economy, said the statement was a "Personal observation" of the Deputy Speaker, and not the general view of the people of Kogi State.

Bello in his reaction through his Director General, Media and Publicity said, "The Deputy Speaker of the House of Assembly, Aliyu Akuh is a respected leader in the State. What he was credited to have said about the economy of the nation was his personal observation.
Though i don't speak for the House, I am sure his views would best be described as a personal observation which no one can deprive him from expressing. He has the right to his speech.
"It is easy for many to view his observation from the political point of view just because the Deputy Speaker is of the people's Democratic party. If you ask me if wwe are going through economic challenges, I will answer you a 'yes', but if you ask me if the President is only giving excuses, I will answer you with a 'no'
"President Muhammadu Buhari knehe was coming to inherit. He aspired to stop the rot that was almost consuming the nation. So he was abundantly aware of the challenges before him.
"The blind stealing of the past is responsible for where we are today. Tough decisions  would be taken. Efforts are ongoing to arrest the situation, stabilize the condition and roll back the nation to a prosperous giant state.
