<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A group, Kogi
Liberation Vanguard, KLV, has alleged that the biggest mistake stakeholder in
the 28- year old State have made since the rebirth of democratic governance in
1999 was to support Yahaya Bello’s emergence as Kogi governor in 2015 given
that he neither  ;contested nor won the
contest.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This view was
contained in a press release signed by Kehinde Ajuola, publicity Secretary of
the group and made available to OpenLife</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To the group, Governor
Yahaya Bello is a failure and therefore, does not deserve a re- election.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“There is nothing to
show that Kogi has a government. Roads are bad. No employment. Schools are not
funded. He pockets security vote to buy votes on Election Day. Bello’s pre
occupation is to buy his way to office again. This time, it wouldn’t work. He
did it in 2015. But things have changed. He is currently disbursing monies to
traditional rulers and Abuja APC leaders for support. That, in itself, will
fail because Abuja leaders will not vote on election day” the statement stated.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“It is a shame that
Kogi has a young man as a governor, yet, the State is the most backward in
innovation and modern democratic strategies. A vote for Bello is a vote for
retrogression and we will not allow it to happen,” the group vowed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, the group,
who are mostly APC members drawn from the three senatorial districts,  ;has promised to sustain its campaign for what
it calls “liberation” from “poverty and backwardness”  ;with a promise to vote anyone but Bello.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Kogi State, created
in 1991 is billed for governorship contest in November, 2019.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many aspirants from
different  ;political platforms are
currently navigating  ;the landscape,
holding meetings with stakeholders and soliciting for votes.</p>
