Yahaya Bello’s threat capable of truncating 2023 polls in Kogi, PDP raises Alarm

The Kogi State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on President Muhammadu Buhari and the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to call Governor Yahaya Bello to order, saying his actions could create chaos in the state.

Addressing a press conference in Abuja on Friday, Engr. Sam Uhuotu, Kogi State Chairman of PDP, said if Bello is allowed to continue with his activities and threats, he might make it impossible to conduct the 2023 elections in the state.

Some of the elders who accompanied the state Chairman to the conference were former governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Ibrahim Idris, former presidential aide, Chief Olusola Akamode, Col. Tunde Ogbeha (rtd) and former National Publicity Secretary of PDP, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan.

They said Bello had resorted to inciting his supporters, threatening to allegedly unleash violence on Nigerians during the 2023 general elections.

The party leaders said they were alarmed by a recent video, in which Bello was heard issuing threats.

“He said I will personally light a fierce fire in my hand; whoever wants it we shall use it to burn them, whoever survives it will thank God.

“The Governor issued this threat on Sunday the 4th of September, 2022 at Ihima, Kogi State, while addressing his loyalists.
