Senator Adams Oshiomhole has lambasted Governor Usman Ododo of Kogi State for using his immunity to cover his predecessor, Yahaya Bello.

Oshiomhole said: “Ododo wrongly used his immunity by preventing the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) from arresting Bello.”

“Ododo’s rescue of Bello and the former governor’s refusal to show up in court, constitutes a breach of the law.”

“If you are afraid, given the fact that you are very vocal, you are independent, you cannot be dismissed, you cannot be promoted or demoted.”

“If you are afraid to mention the name of a former governor who breached the law and a sitting governor who used his immunity to cover a governor that lost immunity, where will the courage come from?”

“This sophistry of saying we can name the child of a poor man who steal(s) a goat but we are afraid to mention the name of a big man who breached the law, that for me is at the root of our problems.”
