The executive and legislature are
not having a smooth relationship at the moment, with some of the president’s
supporters accusing the leadership of the national assembly of refusing to
convene plenary so as to slow down the progress of the current administration.
Addressing his supporters at his
residence in GRA, Okene, Kogi, Bello
said the president would win his reelection and put an end to “the
nonsense that Saraki and Dogara are doing”.
The governor, who spoke in his
native Ebira dialect, also appealed that members of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) should be voted for in the coming elections.
“Tijani Damisa, our brother in
house of representatives, is among the people looking out for President Muhammadu
Buhari… That is why the nonsense that Saraki and Dogara are doing is not
successful. I urge you all to vote for him and his colleagues,” Bello said.
“God willing, Buhari will return
in 2019. All the people bearing APC ticket in Kogi, not just Ebira, will win by
God’s grace.
“He is the one who will give us
and Buhari power. Not the one that Saraki and Dogara are making it difficult
for him in his first term. In the second term, he will do it smoothly… When it
is my own time, we will win it very well. We won’t just win it, we will
superintend over the next one.
“But in this era, please,
everyone should be patient. Please, don’t ridicule me before the president,
because, I know my status there.”
Bello said he is the first person
Buhari reaches out to when he has a personal issue to discuss, boasting that he
has a father-to-son relationship with the president.
According to him, when the
president needs to talk to a governor, “if he does not call me, he cannot call
another person”.
“When it is time for a personal
and sensitive matter to be discussed between father and son, I am the first
person he (Buhari) reaches out to,” he said.
Bello asked the people to vote
only candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He, however, warned them not to
desist from brewing trouble with the opposing Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“Please, tell one another that
all of Kogi, all of Ebira, are for APC. Anyone that is in the camp of the
other, just use it to eat. When it is election time, everyone is APC,” he said.
“If you do not do so and do
something else, you are one dividing Ebira. You are the one saying Ebira should
not move forward, you are the one saying kidnapping of people in the past, in
the time of PDP, should continue. You are the one calling for the return of
that time.
“You are the one saying we should
put an end to all the good work we are doing. You are the one saying you are
not happy with the water projects we are doing. You are the one saying the
hospitals we are building, should be on hold.
“Don’t deviate from the plan
because if you do, you are saying our suffering is not enough. I am not saying
if you see someone from PDP, you should stone him or mock them in songs.”
