Governor Yahaya Bello fires back at Dino Melaye, others for asking him to resign
The governor in a statement through his Director General on Media, Kingsley Fanwo, in Lokoja on Saturday, May 27, said Bello would not resign, stressing that the “issue was straight forward enough as the Governor welcomes the decision of INEC to cancel the latter registration”.
He said: “Resignation is completely out of the options and the Governor will continue his good
“The Governor will not resign. We have listened to INEC and we respect their decisions. Now is time for the Commission to fast-track the transfer of the PVC of the Governor to Kogi State from Abuja.”
Fanwo said it was unfortunate that some APC leaders had constituted themselves as opposition within the party, “simply because they have lost out in their bid to compromise the system and scam the people of Kogi State.”
In a previous report by ZENITHBLOG.com Melaye, who led other APC members, at a news briefing in Abuja on Friday, May 26, dissociated the party and people of Kogi state from the governor’s “criminal behaviour”.
Also at the press briefing is the APC chairman in the state, Alhaji Haddi Ametuo, who led some members of the party to pass a vote of no confidence on the governor last year.
