Kogi state governor, Yahaya Bello, yesterday arrived the state house, Abuja in crutches.
It will be recalled that the governor was involved in an accident yesterday after he fell down in a market.
The governor was reported to have fallen fell off while alighting
from his official car last Friday and injured his left foot, according to a statement
from the Kogi State Government House, Lokoja.
The statement signed by Mr Kingsley Fanwo, Director–General, Media
and Publicity to the governor, said that the incident happened at the
old market area in Lokoja, when the governor was waiting to receive the
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara.
Bello visited the villa to discuss a crucial issue about the ruling
All Progressives Congress (APC) with President Muhammadu Buhari. Some
governors of the ruling party are not happy that Buhari opted out of the
plan to elongate Oyegun’s tenure.
Bello was the one who announced the extension of Oyegun’s tenure at
the end of the national executive committee (NEC) of the party in
February.
There was a strong opposition to the NEC decision, with some regarding it as unconstitutional.
But Bello had said governors of the party had confidence in Oyegun.
The tenure extension is causing ripples within the ruling party.
