Rise above hunger, conduct yourself well, Okai slams FKK for praising Bello

The Peoples Democratic Party Youth activist, Usman Austin Okai has slammed the former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode for praising Kogi State governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello.

Okai told Fani-Kayode to be decorous for once despite the fact that he has gone broke, saying that pouring unmerited praises on Kogi State governor during his 46th birthday with no project to his credit amounts to raising the bar of treachery that hasn’t been seen in the 21st century.

Okai who is a leading opposition figure in Kogi politics said there is maladministration and mismanagement of resources in Kogi State, “advised the former minister to rise above his stomach and pecuniary gains, and desist from insulting the sensibilities of Kogi indigenes.”

Okai bares his mind in a statement he signed and made available to CAPITAL POST in Lokoja on Thursday, added that, “I have observed with great dismay the complimentary remarks and comments showered on the infamous Governor of Kogi state, Yahaya Bello, by a former minister of the country, Chief Fani Kayode.

“Until recently, Chief Fani Kayode used to be a man I hold in high esteem, but is gradually tilting towards the path of infamy.

“I expected that being a man, who has served at the highest level of government, the Federal Executive Council, Fani Kayode should be able to differentiate good governance from clownishness, but I was wrong.

“Since the past days, FFK has been using every opportunity and platforms that he has to insult the sensibilities of Kogi indigenes and residents, who have been at the receiving end of Bello’s evil and maladministration, by labelling a man, unanimously agreed as failure in our State, as a performer.

“The same Yahaya Bello, who is infamously known as a disgrace to youths and governance, is the man Chief Kayode coronated with the robe of champion of Nigerian youths.

“It is unfortunate that since 2015, FFK has fallen from the exalted office of Campaign Spokesman to President Goodluck Jonathan to the clownish state of instability and riff-raffism.

“His notorious instability has seen him become a champion of Biafra secession whenever he is with Nnamdi Kanu; a champion of Oduduwa republic secession whenever he’s is with Sunday Igboho, and at the same time an advocate of one united Nigeria whenever he is with Yahaya Bello or any Nigerian Governor.

“Will a mental stable peraon will be an advocate of secession and at same time an advocate of united Nigeria?”

“While I am not against the decision of Chief Kayode to take advantage of the wastefulness of Governor Bello, he would have done himself good by quietly taking his share and hide his shame instead of exposing his disgrace.

“It will be in the interest of Chief Fani Kayode to respect himself as a former minister and rise beyond the dictates of his stomach.

“He can’t be a critic of the failed Buhari administration but at the same time praise Yahaya Bello, who is a much greater failure.

“Kogi State indigenes will not fold arms and watch anyone insult their sensibilities and make them look stupid simply because such person craves to fulfil the ambition of his stomach”.
