BREAKING: Yahaya Bello Is ‘A Poor Advertisement For Young People’ – Bishop Kukah Roasts Kogi Governor On Live TV

“I feel very sad because Kogi has been on the front burner and Yahaya Bello, the governor, prided himself with being the youngest governor and being a representation of what the youths of this country can do if they are given the opportunity,” he said.

“Sadly, I think he’s been a very poor advertisement for what young people can do.”

At the age of 48, Bello assumed office as the governor of Kogi in 2015 following the passing of Abubakar Audu, who had initially won the governorship election under the All Progressives Congress but died before taking office. Bello secured a second term in November 2019.

In addition to Kogi, gubernatorial elections are also scheduled to take place in Imo and Bayelsa states on November 11. Kukah addressed the dispute between the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Imo State government, urging organized labor to seek a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

“We keep making the point, the people who are contesting elections are our sons and daughters and whatever we do, in conscience, we must always think about the common good,” he said.

“Civil society organisations, unions, churches with a bit of moral authority must always act in the common interest of everybody.

“Without a country there will be no trade union. All you need to do is just look outside the window and see what us happening in the Middle East today, specifically in Israel and Gaza.”

Kukah appealed to the police and other relevant agencies to ensure security during the governorship elections in the three states.

“When elections go wrong, it is ordinary people who suffer,” he said.

“I hope the labour leaders in Imo will really be more circumspect and ask themselves ‘who stands to gain and who stands to lose what?’ At the end of the day it is the people of Imo, they are not electing someone who is outside their state.

“Imo is a deeply Christian environment and I hope their religious leaders and others with moral authority can prevail on the union to defer whatever may be their grievance; this can only be resolved in a peaceful environment.

“We appeal to them to do what is needful and ensure that elections are duly conducted. Our people have suffered enough.”

Kukah said the people’s welfare and well-being cannot be sacrificed on the altar of personal or group interests.

“It’s very difficult to make this point, but sometimes we in Nigeria behave as if we are just a bunch of spoilt people.

“If we look outside the window and see what is happening elsewhere—the earthquakes, human and natural disasters that have afflicted the world,

“And we have to ask ourselves, ‘what have we done to God that he has been so magnanimous and gracious to us?’ Why do we turn the sword on ourselves?”
