Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Thursday
said the public apology and kneeling by the Chairman of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) Kogi State Campaign Council and Kaduna State
Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, confirmed that even the APC agreed that
Governor Yahaya Bello did not merit a second term.
The party alleged that “the genuflection
by El-Rufai is also a direct confirmation that the failed Governor Bello
cannot lay claim to any genuine vote at the November 16 governorship
election.”
PDP noted that Edo State Deputy Governor,
Philip Shuaibu, also knelt before the Kogi people to beg for Bello which
further showed that “it is public knowledge that the governor (Bello)
misused the opportunity given to him to lead the state.”
Unfortunately, the apology is coming too
late in the day and cannot be accepted by the people of Kogi State,
whose lives, Yahaya Bello had turned into a living hell in the last four
year.
Moreover, Yahaya Bello openly confirmed
that he is irredeemable as he stood without any sign of remorse, while
El-Rufai and the Edo State deputy governor begged the unimpressed scanty
crowd.
Governor El-Rufai and the APC ought to
have counselled Yahaya Bello at the time he was busy suppressing,
insulting, abusing and making life unbearable for the people of Kogi
State as if there will not be a day of reckoning.
The irreversible fact is that the day of
reckoning has come. The people of Kogi State have moved beyond Yahaya
Bello and the APC. They are already moving on with the PDP candidate,
Engr. Musa Wada, in their determination for a new order in their state
and there is no looking back,” PDP said, in a statement by its National
Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbodiyan.
The party advised El-Rufai to assist Bello
in preparing his handover notes as he would surely face a crushing
defeat at the polls, come Saturday November 16.
