Standup9ja: I Will Respond When a Human Being is Talking –
Governor Bello Replies Dino Melaye
Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, has fired back at
Senator Dino Melaye who called him, an ‘olodo Governor’ for owing workers
salary.
While speaking with reporters, Bello after observing Ju’maat
prayer at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Friday, described calls by Bello
for him to step down for committing electoral fraud as unwarranted.
“I will respond when a human being is speaking.
“I don’t think I have to waste my time responding to
distractions. Honestly speaking I’m too focused to be distracted.
“Kogi state suffered for over 25 years before I came onboard
and the good people of Kogi are really appreciative of the efforts we are
putting forward to make sure that the state is well developed… Go to Kogi state
website to see what we have done in the 15 months that we have been in the
office.
”So, any side distraction is not something I should pay
attention to, because the people are with me.”
He also spoke on the resolution of governors to clear salary
arrears and pension backlog when the second tranche of the Paris Club Refund is
released.
“The issue of salary arrears is a very worrisome problem to
all of us, the governors and Mr President,” he said.
