The Executive Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, has lashed out at the recent activities of
Senator Dino Meaye in Kogi State, saying the latter lacks proper parental care and home upbringing, and such, has constituted social menace in the society.
Bello said this in an interview with State House Correspondents in Abuja, after meeting with Acting President Yemi Osinbajo to brief him on latest development in the state.
According to him, “You see, I would rather admonished Nigerians that when a child lacks proper parental care and home upbringing, he constitutes social menace in the society. And if the society does not take steps to check and correct such a child, they can turn into criminal and take into criminality then it will be left to government to check such criminality. And if government does not, such a child can cause a serious embarrassment. That is what is happening in Kogi State.
“Then
talking of the Senate, let me rather admonish the Senate that that is
an institution that is held in a very high esteem and I think the Senate
and indeed the National Assembly is made up of men of high calibre and
of high integrity and good character.
“I think it is necessary
that that wonderful House should as matter of urgency and as a matter of
fact check any social deviant that exists within them before they could
be adjudged birds of the same feather. I know they are not of the same
feather.”But he said there is no crisis in the state, stressing that Kogi State is living in peace.
“Projects are ongoing, we are all happy over there, salaries are being paid as at when due and we are making serious progress.” he said
On the claim by Melaye that the governor has earmarked N1 billion to remove him, Bello said: “That is figment of his imagination. The good people of Okunland and indeed West Senatorial District have learnt from a bitter mistake of not taming and curbing that social deviant and they have decided to take lawful steps in recalling him.”
