Deputy Governor of Kogi State, Simon Achuba, has accused the state
governor, Yahaya Bello, of not completing any project in the state since
2016.
Achuba has been at loggerheads with Bello who is said to
have withheld his deputy’s allowances amounting to N800 million, Igbere
TV reports.
In an interview, Achuba said the governor never told
him his offence. He, however, said Bello could be angry at him because
of his insistence “that the right things be done.”
“You flag off
project here today; you go to another place, you flag off again; you
continue to flag off projects without anything being completed, and you
get back to meet these same people. What are you going to tell them?”
Achuba said of Bello.
When asked if the governor had really not
completed any project in four years, he said: “Essentially, that is what
it is. There is no meaningful project that has been brought to 100
percent completion …that he started that has got to 100 percent
completion…. No!”
The deputy governor said as far as he was concerned he had not been suspended by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi.
He
said Bello’s government was corrupt but that he would be seen as being a
hypocrite to talk about it since he was a part of the government.
