Hon. Hassan Omale, the member representing Ankpa/Olamaboro/Omala federal constituency in the House of Representatives, has described Yahaya Bello, governor of Kogi state, as a “Pharaoh”.
According to Omale, God sent Bello as a “Pharaoh” to teach kogi state a lesson.
He said this in a recent interview with Daily Post in Abuja.
“Several governors have served and left and we would not appreciate them. You know God has a way of doing things and that is why he sent Bello as Pharaoh so that we can learn our lessons”, he noted.
“When he began his screening, there was public outcry because many people were erroneously screened out and nine of us as lawmakers from the state, including Deputy House Leader, decided to write a letter to him so we can sit and talk, but we never heard from him”, he added.
He added that it was a good development that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) began investigating him based on petition from certain groups and individuals bothering on fraud and other forms of financial malfeasance in the last eight months he took over.
“The EFCC was in the state based on petitions to the effect that he never utilised the N20billion bailout fund, though government officials would say they have paid close to seven months salaries; if you go to the state, workers would tell you they were being owed eight months”, he lamented.
