The Convener , Bought Your Again Nigeria, Professor Chris Mustapha Nwaokobia Jnr ,has condemned in totality the deliberate plan by some determined Nigerians who needs to tarnish the Picture of Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State.

Addressing the press on Friday, Prof. Chris known as out the EFCC to withstand the temptation of been utilized by these desperately looking for the workplace of the president come 2023 , who worry Governor Yahaya Bello as the one attainable seen entrance runner to their ambition.

“I raised three robust factors in my final Press Launch concerning the desperation of these looking for the Excessive Workplace of President come 2023 and the ploy to deploy damaging falsehood, perfidy and deceit to hoodwink the media and the folks towards the very seen entrance runner Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State. Like I clairvoyant I stand vindicated”.

“I warned that if zoning and rotation of energy which seems to be their brief reduce to the Presidency come 2023 turns into tough, they’ll resort to blackmail and spurious litigations cum media mudslinging, but in addition left a caveat that we will not undergo fools gladly, and that we will conquer their falsehood with the efficacy of Reality. Such and no different is my Cross”.

“And I warned that any try and tar or mar the urgency of now and the fervency of a reinvigorated name for a New Deal in Nigeria ala the Youth O’Clock protocol and the Yahaya Bello Motion with faux brush, faux information, faux litigations, faux Courtroom Orders and Preposterous Rulings is not going to stand, as a result of this can be a Motion of intellectuals, egg heads and principled ideologues prepared, keen and in a position to shoot down each faux, false and fictitious kite that his political adversaries might fly. And such is our creed. That mentioned, right here is the reality that defeats the current falsehood and confines their perfidy to the ignoble pit of historical past”.

“Have you learnt that in contrast to most States in Nigeria at present, the State of Kogi has cleared nearly all of the excellent salaries and arrears owed staff, and presently pays staff as at when due? Have you learnt that the State of Kogi is amongst the States topping the chart within the fee of pensions? Have you learnt that the State of Kogi is among the few States that isn’t owing Medical Doctors and Staff any wage? And have you ever realized that not having anymore that outdated cliche and chorus ‘Kogi State is owing staff and never paying salaries’, they’ve devised the current falsehood and lies, however it received’t stick”.

“The current lie and falsehood fails as a result of the motion purportedly introduced earlier than the Courtroom by the Financial And Monetary Crimes Fee EFCC concerning a sure 20billion naira allegedly fastened by the Kogi State Authorities in Sterling Financial institution for curiosity is patently false and fictitious. There isn’t a Account in favour of Kogi State with such deposit in Sterling Financial institution, and the Financial institution is presently taking steps towards the EFCC on the spurious declare”.

“It’s on file that the stability within the Kogi State wage account with Sterling Financial institution is about 46 million naira solely for the reason that 19.3 billion naira meant for Salaries had been deployed to that goal in 2019”.

“To those that have gone to city with the raging falsehood a couple of sure 20billion naira belonging to Kogi State that was allegedly frozen by the Courtroom, the query is, the place is the 20billion that the EFCC deceived the Courtroom into freezing? In what account is it? Can they make public the stability on the alleged Account as on the thirty first of August, 2021 when the mentioned account was frozen? Are you able to cage, freeze or detain what shouldn’t be? How depraved and unhappy. As we journey in direction of 2023 we should as a folks implore the EFCC, the ICPC and the opposite investigative companies of State to ‘shine their eyes’ and resist any try for use as cannon fodders for falsehood, deceit, blackmail and lies by politicians. As a result of the lies received’t stick”.

“Want I say clearly, that to additional put the naysayers to disgrace and to proper the flawed so completed to Kogi State by the EFCC, and their fellow vacationers on the trail of infamy and treachery, the Kogi State Authorities has gone to Courtroom towards such grievous fake pas. And shall come out clear earlier than the Regulation Courtroom, and the Courtroom of Public opinion, as a result of this falsehood orchestrated towards it’ll fall like a pack of playing cards. Sure, the lies received’t stick”.

“We should as a nation resist and refuse the chicanery of political operators who search by falsehood and deceit to slim the confines of political contestation. Nigerians should insist that each one contestants come earlier than the folks with proof of competency and capability not blackmail and mudslinging. We should problem the media, the civil society and the clergy to etch new paradigms of fact over falsehood, details over blackmail, and sound coverage over pettiness as 2023 beckons”.

“Lastly, might I State with out an oz. of equivocation that we will proceed ceaselessly to debunk all lies towards the particular person of Yahaya Bello, towards State of Kogi, and towards the decision for a New Deal for the lots of our Nation. Keep in mind it’s Youth O’Clock, and the Nigerian Youths together with the lots of our pricey Nation will purge our politics of the smear campaigns and the vile tendencies of the previous. All lies and falsehood within the works for 2023 won’t stick, consider me, so attempt one thing else, people”.
