The 2023 People Democratic Party, candidate for Dekina/Bassa Federal House of Representatives, Usman Okai, has said attempt by the immediate Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello to bribe a judge has been exposed.
Okai was reacting to the leaked WhatsApp chat group chat involving the state’s Commissioner for Information, Kingsley Fanwo and others.
Charging Fanwo to be silent, the PDP chieftain said the commissioner is involved in all the evils afflicting the confluence state.
In a statement he issued, Okai said the leaked group chat “was an act of God,” stressing that instead of defending it, Fanwo should offer an apology for planning to buy justice with dollars.
The statement reads partly: “The commissioner, who couldn’t win his own party’s primary for the federal House of Representatives, is part of Kogi state’s problem.
“Fanwo was brought from Vanguard as a media assistant to Capt. Wada’s Deputy, Yemi Awoniyi.
“He was a young boy who was supposed to understand the reality on the ground. Unfortunately, the Evangelist, who is supposed to represent truth, is now planning to bribe judges with dollars.
“It’s unfortunate that the commissioner’s denial is expected because he was exposed by those he trusted. They are the same people who want liberation for the people of Kogi State.
“We are not surprised; Fanwo sees himself as a Governor from the Okun tribe in waiting, ready to deny even his own family to please Yahaya Bello and Ododo.
“Unfortunately for Kingsley, he has yet to learn from Edward Onoja, Okala, Hon. Kolawole, and others like Asuku, that Bello once promised heaven and earth but failed them.”
Okai said the self-proclaimed Evangelist, who is not even born again, needs to understand that ‘Everyday is for the thief, one day is for the owner.’
“Today, his former principal, who looted the state carelessly, is facing God’s judgment while on earth.
“The attempt to bribe judges ahead of the tribunal ruling has already been exposed, and necessary complaints have been made to the relevant security apparatus and judiciary regulatory agents.”
