The gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP Musa Wada, has berated Governor Yahaya Bello comparing his administration to that of the tyrant leader Idi Amin of Uganda.
The PDP gubernatorial candidate disclosed this during an interview with newsmen ahead of the November 16 governorship election in Kogi State.
He said “The scenario in Kogi State reminds us of those days of Idi Amin of Uganda. If you say Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world, then Kogi State is the poverty capital of Nigeria because everything bad in human existence is present in Kogi State today.”
The governorship aspirant also lamented the state of education in the state, adding that, some secondary schools have no roof.
Wada said “The schools are closed; up to 100 lecturers in Kogi State University have ran away. What I intend doing if I emerge is to bring comfort back to the people and ensure that there are adequate facilities in our hospital and to make people believe there is a government that would provide for their needs.
“Some of the secondary schools do not have roofs.”
He further lamented the degradation of Kogi State University under Governor Bello, stressing that the institution has lost its pride.
He said “Kogi University before now was the pride of everybody. We had all the courses accredited. Mind you, a university is not about the structure but about accreditation of courses. The accreditation of School of Medicine and Pharmacy, which was got under Governor Wada was withdrawn when Yahaya Bello came because he could not pay.
“As I speak, they have redistributed these students to UNIJOS, UNN and other universities offering medicine and pharmacy. Bello’s coming has killed the Medical faculty of Kogi State University. His government has taken the state back 100 years.”
Wada however, stressed that he would declare state of emergency across all of sectors in the state if elected Governor.
He said “When I emerge as governor, a state of emergency will be declared in all sectors in Kogi because no sector is working.”
