Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello on Thursday stormed the national headquarters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) hours before the inauguration of the new officers of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC).

Governor Bello who stormed the party’s secretariat alongside his loyalists went straight into the party secretariat.

Hours after the arrival of the Kogi State Governor, some Kogi lawmakers from the Senate and House of Representatives were also seen joining him.

There were speculations that the Kogi governor was at the secretariat to disrupt the inauguration.

A source who spoke with Punch said, “Bello and those lawmakers just coming in are here for just one reason – to ensure this inauguration doesn’t hold. Of course, we are all aware that his nominee, who was the ex-Special Adviser on Water Resources in Kogi, Yahaya Ismail was dropped in favour of Hon Duro Meseko for the position of Deputy National Publicity Secretary.

“This same Bello was with Ganduje at his residence last night. Despite the explanation by the chairman that Meseko was given the position to compensate Hon James Faleke for withdrawing from the Kogi governorship primary and for not making Tinubu’s ministerial list, Bello insisted that he won’t be cowed into accepting the deal.”

It was stated that the presence of Governor Bello troubled supporters of Meseko, who sat quietly at the media centre with the embattled deputy publicity secretary-designate as many of them asked him to remain calm ahead of the swearing-in.

While the waiting continued, an emissary came to invite Meseko for a meeting with the governor.

A few minutes after the closed-door meeting, the delegation came out of the secretariat fuming that they wouldn’t accept the deal.

One of Meseko’s supporters speaking on the outcome of the meeting said, “Just imagine the way the governor and those lawmakers were harassing him.

“They wanted to know why he didn’t turn down the appointment when he was offered.

“But when Meseko insisted that he deserved it, having worked for the party at the state level and the victory of Asiwaju (Bola Tinubu), they told him to resign immediately or risk jeopardising his political career in Kogi.

“According to them, they can all go back to Kogi for reconciliation talks if he agrees to withdraw from the deputy spokesman’s position but we told him not to be bullied into taking the decision and left.” (Punch/vitalnewsngr.com)
