The Governor of Kogi State, Alh. Yahaya Bello , has broken his silence on the alleged INEC double registration, saying he will speak on the matter at the appropriate time .
The Director General , Media and Publicity to the Governor , Kingsley Fanwo , said Bello was “ upbeat in the midst of allegations of double registration levelled against him , ” insisting that the governor is prepared to prove his innocence .
“We have not said anything about the allegation because we have to allow our legal team take it up and expose the incoherence and falsehood surrounding the politically orchestrated allegation .
“ The governor will soon come out to lay the truth on the table .
“ Impregnable facts will dwarf the current campaign of calumny against the person of Governor Yahaya Bello .
“ INEC had told the world they had no evidence of double registration . They also gave dates during which the purported double registration took place . They may have to be confronted with their own words. ”
Speaking further , Fanwo said , “ Those calling for the governor’ s resignation over a mere allegation have further exposed their ignorance and desperation . They need to wait till 2019 to test their popularity among the people of Kogi State.
“ Why are they sounding critical publicly while sending emissaries to plead with the governor for the remedy of their dimming political hope ahead of 2019?
“ Their hypocrisy will soon be public knowledge .
“ The governor will clear his name . But he remains focused on his goal of making Kogi a better place for all. ”
