There were conflicting views
between members of the Kogi State House of Assembly on Wednesday over a motion
to pass a vote of confidence on Governor Yahaya Bello.
The motion which was sponsored by
Honourable Bello Hassan Abdullahi (APC Ajaokuta) generated heated debates among
members who were for or against.
Bello in his motion intimated the
House that the Governor had performed excellently well in his two years in
office.
According to the APC lawmaker,
kudos should be given to the Governor on areas of security, infrastructural
development, improved health service, educational development and economic
growth of the state.
He prayed that a letter of
commendation should be written and delivered to the governor for a job well
done in the state, urging him to continue his good work undeterred by
detractors or obstacles.
Supported by the Deputy Speaker
Hassan Abdullahi ( APC Okura State Constituency), the immediate past Speaker of
the House Umar Ahmed Imam (APC Lokoja 1) had a contrary views with the mover of
the motion.
The former speaker said although
he wasn’t against the motion, its should it shouldn’t have come as a motion of
urgent public importance.
Imam further explained that,
passing a vote of confidence on the governor was not ripe yet.
Supporting his claim, Barrister
Oluwatoyin Lawal (PDP Yagba West) drew the attention of members to house rule
Nos 44.
Other members such as Ahmed
Mohammed (APC Ankpa 1), Abdulkareem Kekere (APC Okehi), Idris Ndakwo (APC
Lokoja 2), Victor Omofaiye ( APC Ijumu), John Abba (APC Ibaji) Moses Ododo (
APC Okura ) in their various contributions supported the motion, stressing that
it will encourage the Governor to do more for the State.
The House, however, passed a vote
of confidence on Governor Yahaya Bello when the motion was put into vote by the
speaker, Prince Mathew Kolawole.
