Senator representing Kogi West in the National Assembly, Dino Melaye, has dared the state governor, Yahaya Bello, to invite President Muhammadu Buhari to Kogi to commission any project he initiated and completed since assuming power more than 3 years ago.
Melaye, who
has been at loggerheads with Governor Bello for a prolonged period, had
recently moved against the governor’s alleged bid to borrow N30 billion
from Nigeria’s Central Bank.
“I challenge the
Governor of Kogi State to invite President Buhari to Kogi State to
commission at least one project after more than 3 years in office,” the
senator said in a tweet on Monday.Melaye had claimed that Bello
was seeking the N30bn loan from the CBN to raise money for his
re-election in the forthcoming governorship election in the state.The
controversial Senator said he had written the CBN not to grant the loan
request to the Governor whom he described as a ‘squandermania’.
