It is our view that no one should be allowed to hold Kogi State to ransom. Yahaya Bello is not the first Governor of Kogi State and he certainly will not be the last.
He should therefore not destroy the state to a level that would make it a laughing stock in Nigeria. He should also realize that putting out another man’s candle does not light his own.
As men of reason gather in support of Dino Melaye, we believe that very soon Kogi State will be liberated from the clutches of Governor Yahaya Bello, whose governance style is not only strange but kindergarten.
For the avoidance of doubt, if a lawmaker must be recalled, it must come genuinely from his constituents without outside forces remotely controlling the process with state resources.
The constitution does not envisage that a Governor is in a position directly or indirectly to sack a Senator, a Member of the House of Representatives, or even a Member of a State House of Assembly.
If Dino is allowed to go, this idea of Governor’s sacking any legislator they disagree with will become a trend and will only spell doom for our democracy.
Yahaya Bello must be stopped, simple. [Ends.]
