That Governor Yahaya Bello finally get the 2nd term ticket of the APC and the maximum backing of the Presidency and the cabal to get back to government house by hook or by crook is no more news, neither is it news that the Independent Electoral Commission ( INEC) has formally dispatch its special Czars for election manipulations t over see the Kogi polls also news but the serious news is the series of negotiation, give and take that finally moved the Presidency and the Cabal to wholly back Governor Bello fir 2nnd term despite evidences of monumental failure and solid opposition by top chieftains’ of the APC including the self acclaimed leader of the APC Jagaban Bola Tinubu himself.
Daily Watch investigations confirmed that Bello’s acceptance after several plea and visit to the Villa in fear and confusion over several clandestine plots to drop him for one retired Usman Jubril sailed through after several conditions were extracted from the Governor by those who hold sway power wise in the seat of Power in Abuja.
Daily Watch ears in the seat of power confirms that Bello acceptance to go for 2nd term in-spite of serial evidences of grand failure for four years, diversion of Paris funds and Salary deficiencies was as a result of his accepting t not just to allow for headers to become bona fide indigenes of Kogi state and freedom all over Kogi state to graze their cattle but to also make the leader of the Fulani community in Kogi State a member of the state Traditional Council which the governor has already done thereby automatically making Kogi a state with Fulani traditional ruler who also seats as a member of the Traditional Council with the Attah of Igala and others.
Daily watch investigations confirmed that I is this serious trade ff between Cabal and Bello that fast racked his acceptance and massive endorsement by the Cabal and also a total determination by the cabal to foist him on the people of Kogi state by hook or by crook and which has seen to the hurried posting of one Amina Zakari, a special and controversial INEC top staff to Kogi to superintend the processes that would herald the eventual manipulation of the elections in favour of Yahaya Bello knowing that in a free and fair elections Bello would lose out due to his ( Bello) abysmal performance and Salary encumbrances coupled with the disadvantage by virtue of the Igalla’s having more Local Government and numerical voting population
Daily watch investigations confirmed that leaders f the Miyetti Allah in the state have recently mobilize in their Hundreds to the Government House pouring not just encomium on the governor who had woefully failed in all ramifications but endorsing him for a 2nd term in what they described as his Fulani headers friendly disposition and his making of a Fulani traditional Rular a member of the state Traditional Rulers Council in the state.
In their Visit which was higly televised and reported in almost all media Out lets in the Country, the National Organizing Secretary of MACBEN Aliyu Saleh praised the Governor to high heavens over his massive support for Fulani headers in Kogi state and the creating and acceptance of Fulani as indigenes of the state with his ceding a position for them in the state Traditional Council.
In the Words of Saleh Aliyu, the National Organizing Secretary of MACBEN “MACBEN are here today to show their massive support to you for your 2nd term and to assure you that we would massively vote you back into power not just for your maximum support for the Fulani headers al over the state which is unparallel but also for making our head a member of the Traditional Council of Kogi State”.
Daily watch findings confirmed that the massive Visitation and uncommon praise of the Governor by MACBEN National Organizing Secretary who himself is not an Indigene of Kogi or a participant in the Election is just to show the Governor that the MACBEN Nationwide are on his side over the deal reached with the Cabal and his acceptance to see that the MACBEN headers have a better sty and grazing in Kogi state.
Daily watch persistent attempts to reach out to the Kogi state Governor Media team or the Chief Press Secretary to the governor to confirm the making of a member of the Fulani leader as also member of the Kogi stat traditional Council in the state was not possible as the phone of the CPS rang repeatedly without his picking.
