The Senator representing Kogi West in the National Assembly, Dino
Melaye, has lampooned the Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, for
commissioning with pomp and pageantry, a 300 KVA transformer installed
in Lokoja as his first project.
In a brief speech during the ceremony, the governor had said that the
project was in fulfillment of his election campaign promise to provide
electricity that would ensure the opening of cottage industries in the
state.
He promised that the facility would be extended to more rural
communities, and urged artisans to take advantage of the power supply to
expand their trades.
The governor urged the people to protect the facility against vandals
and abuse, and appealed to them to promptly pay their bills so that
effective service would be sustained.
However, in his reaction to the development, Dino Melaye who has been
in a social media fight with the Governor, posted a photograph of the
event on Facebook and wrote:
“Big party as Yahaya Bello commissioned his first project since he
became governor. One transformer in Koto with red carpet and platform.
Allah ya isa. Kai!!!!”
It could be recalled that the embattled Senator had earlier accused the governor of allegedly orchestrating his on-going recall process.
