He should rather use the opportunity to counsel Governor Yahaya Bello to accept his rejection by the people of Kogi state and be ready to face the burden of a crushing defeat on November 16.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe APC knows that Governor Bello has gone down in history as the worst governor ever in Nigeria; who cannot point to any development project or initiative in governance and under whom a once vibrant and productive state has been reduced to the poorest and most dejected in our country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read Also:\u00a0You Will Need Free Speech, Human Rights After Your Tenure: Deji Adeyanju Tells El-rufai<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the APC means well for Kogi state, the party should not be wasting its time to campaign but rather counsel Yahaya Bello to use the remaining days of his abysmal tenure to show remorse, pay up the 36 month arrears he owes workers and pensioners, restitute for those who died because of his suppressive rule and get ready with his handover notes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe APC Campaign Council should come to terms with the fact that the people of Kogi state had made up their minds to repay Yahaya Bello in his own coin by kicking him out of office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, no amount of apologies, intimidations, violence, vote-buying and \u201cbody bag\u201d metaphor can change their resolve or save Governor Bello from defeat in this election.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>              &#13;\n                    <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PDP The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has issued a stern warning to the Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, to steer clear of Kogi state, ahead of the forthcoming November 16 governorship election.
