Salome: Bello’s sins waiting, he’ll be prosecuted soon – Ex-governorship candidate

Two years after the Peoples Democratic Party woman leader, Hon. Salome Acheju Abuh was burnt alive by thugs loyal to the All Progressives Congress (APC), the former Kogi State PDP governorship candidate in 2019 election, Engr. Musa Wada in utter condemnation said, that was a sin among others of governor Yahaya Bello.

He said the governor’s sins are waiting and he will be prosecuted at the right time.

Engr. Wada maintained that power was transient and the governor’s time in office is gradually running out which he will become an ordinary citizen like any anyone to be prosecuted for his many sins.

The ex-governorship candidate who contested with Alhaji Yahaya Bello in 2019, spoke at the two years memorial service at the Chida Hotel event centre, Abuja on Thursday.

He said: “The family of Mrs Salome Acheju Abuh, the former governor of Kogi State and leader of the party in the State, all party leaders from Kogi State.

“Permit me to stand on the existing protocol. Wherever, I am, this very day that has been celebrated for the past two years takes me aback about the vanities of this world because I was a principal actor in that election and it has really taught me a lesson about life and how transient power can be.

“The current ‘tatata’ advocate, that’s the current governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, everyday his time is going, every minute, he will become an ordinary citizen and his sins are waiting. He will be prosecuted at the right time.

“The unfortunate thing is this, that a young man he claim to be will be superintending a State which he came to power by violence and ‘tatata’ and someone will become a Commissioner in that government and feel sitting on the mandate of the people which I represented at that time and you think you are the governor.

Wada commended the former governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Ibrahim Idris who he said has displayed humility in conduct of political activities in Kogi State all these years

He bemoaned the brigandage associated with Kogi State election which justice was elusive that kept Yahaya Bello as governor.

According to him, there would be intervention in political process anytime soon, even as the National Assembly has passed electronic means of transmitting election results into law, a development he maintained, would eliminate thuggery which many politicians heavily depended on to get to offices.

“You know you are a governor for four years and running a second term that you know, you are never elected. In the first tenure, a very great politician, may his soul rest in peace.

“Alhaji Abubakar Audu who has the mandate died and Bello benefitted. Then, the second time, the whole world knew, PDP won the election and of course, the style of APC is rig anybody and go to court, but nothing lasts forever.

“In the next few months, the people at the end of affairs now will be ordinary citizens to be prosecuted by the law of the land.

“But, I assure you, sooner than later with this process of politics that God may bring forth where there will no human elements of thuggery; which we have electronic transmission of results; I will not see an uneducated man who calls himself or herself using thugs to kill somebody for another elements to come to power.”
