Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has officially denied any involvement in the ongoing #EndBadGovernance protests. In a statement, Governor Bello clarified that he is not connected to the protests and urged the public to disregard any rumors or misinformation suggesting otherwise. He emphasized his commitment to peace and stability in the country and encouraged constructive dialogue as a means of addressing grievances.
However, speaking via a statement issued on Wednesday and signed by Michael Ohiare, the erstwhile governor claimed that it was a plan by his enemies to frame him.
The statement made available to newsmen in Lokoja read, “We have uncovered a high-wired plan by some disgruntled enemies of the nation and persons on the ‘Project Bring Down Yahaya Bello’, to frame him up as one of the sponsors of the #Endbadgovernance protests across the country.
“We wouldn’t have bothered to respond to a clout-chasing criminal, blackmailer and blackmail pawn, a hired gun in the hands of some unpatriotic Nigerians, who published a fake, malicious and unintelligent report about an imaginary involvement of His Excellency, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, in the ongoing protests across the country.
