Kola Ologbondiyan, former national publicity secretary of the Peoples Democratic (PDP), has urged Yahaya Bello, former governor of Kogi state, to “come out of hiding and submit himself to the law”.
Bello who has been declared wanted by the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for alleged money laundering, said through
his counsel that his failure to appear before a federal high court in Abuja is
due to fear of arrest by the anti-graft agency.
Speaking with TheCable on Wednesday, Ologbondiyan said Bello
should listen to Nigerians who have asked him to submit himself to the law.
“He is left with only one choice and that is, he should go
and face the law,” Ologbondiyan said.
“Whether he is guilty or innocent, it is the law that will
decide that. All these shenanigans by him is needless.
“My advice for him is that he should submit himself to the
law. He was a chief law officer of Kogi state for eight years, how then can he
be running away from that law?
“He should listen to the wise counsel of Nigerians who have
said that he should go and face the law.”
On Wednesday, the ex-governor’s media team said Bello is not
running from the law but wants due process to be followed.
No former governor in Nigeria apart from late Umaru Musa Yar adua, will ever be free from law. They are virus, very bad. They are the reason why we are suffering. They are the same people in national assembly. That's why Nigeria is not progressing. The truth has to be told.
