Kogi State Government has
described leaders of the Save Kogi Project as a “bunch of failures,” who are
unsettled by the giant strides the administration of Alhaji Yahaya Bello is
recording in the state.
Reacting to a statement by the
group in Abuja, in which the state government was carpeted, Director General of
Media and Strategy to Governor Bello, Mr. Kingsley Fanwo, said the group should
not be taken seriously.
Mr. Fanwo said: “They are a bunch
of failures, who are trying to play politics with the future of our dear state.
Our decision to sell off non-yielding assets is to enable government provide
infrastructure for economic development.
“It is economic smartness to sell
what does not give you income now and inject what is realised to stimulate the
economy.
“The angst of the group was the
failure of Governor Bello to share the commonwealth of the state with them.
“We remain resolute to moving the
state forward as the people are solidly with the governor. The latest onslaught
was occasioned by the embarrassing sea of heads that greeted the All
Progressives Congress, APC, rally in Lokoja on February 17.
“The staff verification exercise
was a huge success that saved the state billions that were hitherto wasted on
ghost workers and unintended beneficiaries. We have changed the orientation of
the civil servants.
“Their lies that APC was dead in
Kogi was punctured and they have decided to move on to the next lie.”
