As the plight of workers in Kogi State worsens day by day, due to non payment of salaries, the member representing Ankpa/Olamaboro/Omala federal constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Hassan Omale has described the situation as pathetic.
He declared that governor Yahaya Bello was sent as Pharaoh to teach Kogi people lessons for not appreciating those who did well for the state.
Speaking with DAILY POST in Abuja, he said that Bello was hiding under the guise of screening in the last eight months, while workers and the entire state continued to suffer.
“Several governors have served and left and we would not appreciate them. You know God has a way of doing things and that is why he sent Bello as Pharaoh so that we can learn our lessons”, he noted.
He revealed that the entire lawmakers from the state in the lower chamber of the National Assembly wrote to have audience with him for purposes of advising him on the way forward, but were shunned.
“When he began his screening, there was public outcry because many people were erroneously screened out and nine of us as lawmakers from the state, including Deputy House Leader, decided to write a letter to him so we can sit and talk, but we never heard from him”, he said.
Hassan expressed worry that Kogi State under Bello had leadership problems, having surrounded himself with inexperienced people, a situation he said, was responsible for high profile crimes in the state.
