Kogi State Deputy Governor, Simon Achuba on Sunday, February 17, 2019 cried out that his life is in danger following the withdrawal of his security details allegedly on the order of Governor Yahaya Bello…

“I was surprised to see that all policemen attached to my house had been withdrawn. I then put a call across to the Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Busari, who also expressed shock and promised to give the matter an urgent attention.”

“After about an hour, I called him again but he refused to pick my call. I sent a text message to him and up till now, he has not got back to me. I am calling on the acting Inspector-General of Police to intervene so as to maintain law and order in the state.”

“I also want the Federal Government to intervene in the affairs of Kogi State whose citizens have been subjected to hardship.”

“When God gives you the privilege to rule a people, the people should not be taken for granted. You don’t have to use force for your policy to scale through if they are popular and people-oriented.”

“The point of departure between the governor and I is in the area of urging the government to do things according to the will of the people to which no one had been listening.”
