Bello had during his recent visit to the
Presidential Villa, assured the party’s leadership that he would ensure
that Kogi delivers more votes for the President in 2019 than Katsina,
his home state.
But Faleke, who was the deputy
governorship candidate of the APC in Kogi State during the 2015
election, alleged that Bello had no such capacity because of his poor
record of performance in the state.
Faleke, in a statement on Wednesday,
said, “It is the height of deceit for a governor who owe several months’
salaries and pensions, and who cannot provide basic infrastructure, to
boast of delivering Kogi for President Buhari in 2019.
“Mr. President, how can a governor who
has been indicted by the Independent National Electoral Commission for
engaging in double registration lead your campaign train in Kogi with
such a moral stain hanging on his neck?
“The question is, will President Buhari
contest? If yes, will he win Kogi with Yahaya Bello as the chief
campaigner? The answer is No. This is because he has killed the APC in
the state, thereby stripping us of critical campaign issues in the
state.”
