The PDP in Kogi state has distanced itself from insinuations of a certain ‘working relationship’ with Governor Yahaya Bello, The Nation reports.
PDP denounced a statement credited to James Faleke, the late Prince Abubakar Audu’s running mate in the November 21, 2015, that Governor Yahaya Bello is a member of the party.
PDP in a statement by Bode Ogunmola, its publicity secretary, dismissed as “absolutely false, totally presumptuous and comprehensively baseless”, the allegations that all 45 appointments so far made by Bello went to PDP members.
The former ruling party noted that “though the crisis and burden of identity plaguing the incumbent APC government in Kogi state is deserving of genuine public sympathy, the APC alone has the responsibility of bearing the burden of its disunity and disjointedness.”
According to the statement, “what amuses more is the claim that Yahaya Bello has returned power to the PDP through the appointment of PDP members. Nothing can be farther from the truth.”
