Gov Bello Storms Lokoja Amid Death, Sickness Rumours

Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello yesterday evening returned to Lokoja after several official engagements in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja where he attended public and private meetings.

However, in the past few days, rumours emerged in some sections of the social media of the governor’s critical health condition and some quarters even reported that he had passed away.

Debunking the wide spread rumour, Governor Bello described such as the hand work of people with bad intention stressing emphatically that he was never sick and remained hale and hearty.

He assured the people that after a long week of engagements in Abuja he was back to resume this duty fully with a renewed vigour of stamping crimes and criminality out of the state.

On stepping on the soil of Kogi, the residents trooped out in their thousands. At Chikara the border town between Kogi, Nasarawa states and Abuja, people jubilated, forcing the governor’s convoy to a stop.

 On his usual characteristics, the  governor came down from his car and exchanged pleasantries with the people. 

He was received back to Lokoja amidst wild jubilation by his teaming supporters who waited at strategic points to catch a glimpse of him while the entourage moved slowly to the Government House, Lokoja.
