The praise singers, who went to welcome Yahaya Bello, following the court bail granted him, are his APC rooters; clan kins and those who ate from his table.
Those whom he denied paying their salaries for months and years, and those workers he paid percentage salaries, among whom are his fellow Ebiras, couldn’t have gone to welcome him. The relations of those who died from his inept, tyrannical and kakistocratic rule and the relations of those that the brutish honcho apparently killed could not have danced to honour him.
Pensioners whom he denied of their gratuities couldn’t have eulogized him for turning the state to his personal cash cow. Natasha and some of her party faithfuls whom Bello brutalized and humiliated would stone that airhead if he is within their reach. Civil servants who were blatantly denied of their promotions and leave bonuses couldn’t have gone to throw a red carpet for their Mephistophelian tormentor.
Among those who rolled out the drums to celebrate the worst despot in the history of Kogi State were masqueraders and the czar’s gaggle of yahoos and cat’s-paws whom he enriched with cars, cash and vehicles. Those his acolytes must, as a matter of compulsory allegiance, welcome their ‘masquerade-governor’.
What was even the basis of their rackets? Mere bail? He has two cases of alleged fraud in court. Those fawning lickspittles ought to wait for the court verdicts before painting the town red if their idol is declared innocent. This issue against him is not one of those dead on arrival. That fabled monster and mischievous enfant terrible caused several Kogites unimaginable havocs. May justice be served the deprived. May condign punishment be served the culprit.
