Kogi Poll: PDP Alleges Yahaya Bello Plans To Unleash Violence
The Peoples Democratic Party PDP, has raised alarm over an alleged plot by the governor of Kogi state Yahaya Bello to unleashed violence on the party and its supporters ahead of the November 16 Gubernatorial Poll in the state.
The opposition party stresses that it has uncovered plans by the Governor to disrupt it’s campaign in Kogi central senatorial zone adding that, the party was not deterred by the threats of violence from the governor.
The party disclosed this in a press statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary Kola Ologbondiyan, on Sunday.
The statement reads in part “The party’s position is predicated on reported threats by Yahaya Bello and the @OfficialAPCNg to unleash violence and disrupt our campaigns in Kogi Central senatorial zone, apparently distressed by the massive support our candidate, Engr. Musa Wada, is enjoying across the state.
“The @OfficialPDPNig says the threats of violence from the @OfficialAPCNg will never deter it from overrunning Governor Yahaya Bello and his party in all the senatorial zones of the state, including the Kogi Central in the November 16, governorship election.
“As a party, we have on a good authority how Governor Bello and his agents have been threatening the lives of @OfficialPDPNig leaders in Kogi Central, all in their failed bid to instill fear on the people and frustrate our campaigns in the area.”

The party also called on security agencies to be on the alert and call the governor to order. Adding that, Bello and his party were sewing fake security uniforms for their political thugs ahead of the election.
Kola said “The PDP calls on the Inspector General of @PoliceNG, Mohammed Adamu, and the military hierarchy to note how Gov Bello is turning Kogi state into a theatre of war and making life unsafe in the state.
“Our party draws the attention of security agencies to reports that @OfficialAPCNg and agents of Governor Yahaya Bello have a training ground for thugs in Kogi Central District, who would be later armed with dangerous weapons to perpetuate violence during the election.
“There are also reports that the @OfficialAPCNg and agents of Yahaya Bello are sewing fake military, police and Civil Defence uniforms to be used by their thugs to cause mayhem during the election.”
