Kogi Governorship Tribunal: Group exonerates Aisha Buhari
Group
under the auspices of Kogi Good Governance Forum a non-partisan and
non-governmental organisation made up of patriotic citizens of Kogi
state has exonerated the wife of the President, Aisha Buhari, from
accusations of interference in the just concluded Kogi electoral
tribunal, attributing Bello's victory as an act of God.
The
group through its President Secretary General Idako Ochimana Abayoi
described the act as selfish blackmail which seeks to discredit success
and excellence, stating that those behind the allegations that the wife
of the President, scuttled justice to favour Governor Bello, are
non-Kogites, and are out to severe Kogi people's ties with the
presidency.
"Today
the people of Kogi have decided to put an end to distraction of
government laced with intimidation aimed at making mockery of a peoples
mandate well deserved.
This
is why we of the Kogi Good Governance Forum, a have decided to call
condemnation on all detractors of the state and its government in the
light of accusations by nay sayers claiming interference by the Wife of
the President in the ongoing Kogi state Governorship Electoral
Tribunal", the group said.
The
group affirmed that their decision to vote governor Bello into power
was without coercion and also congratulated the governor on his upheld
election which they described as Heaven ordained. They called on
detractors and plotters to desist from plots of discrediting and
destabilising the government or face the wrath of God.
The group also described the tribunal as a positive change agent and Bello's victory a national consensus.
"The
judgement of the Tribunal which is representative of the change today
witnessed across the nation courtesy of the new administration of
fairness and equity, is not a victory to the Kogi people but also to
democracy and proof that the Nigerian Judiciary is truly maturing".
The
group while condemning the act called on its perpetrators to desist
from using Kogi's name for barbaric and uncultured acts and demanded
that the culprits tender unreserved apology to the President's wife and
retract their comments.
