An x-ray of the person of Governor Bello and his government in juxtaposition with his kitchen cabinets, one would say he is the most brilliant, kindhearted, richest, passionate and lovable human being. He surpasses all his subjects in all ramifications.
He started all alone with his wealth and got God’s elevation to this stage. Then, he surrounded himself with opportunists and nurtured them into great men.
Anyone would have agreed that the #only_gift those opportunists (his kitchen) cabinet could ever have given him in appreciation for all he has done for them is ensuring they support him to have a trustworthy successor, but the reverse was the case.
Your Excellency, many Kogi indigenes have been singing your names in jumble, believing that a suppose image of youth like you should serve as a good example, but all misgivings got cleared following the upshot of your last stakeholders meeting.
After the meeting, these set of people disgracefully came begging and crying for clemency. If you had failed, how would they have been filling now? They would have clearly taken their latitude. Only success has friends and that is the more reasons you see them kneeling, and shedding crocodile tears, deceiving you again.
But, don’t make a blunder twice else you may never have a second chance. Across Kogi State, both ruling and opposition, your tribe and other tribes, and then across the nation, you have replaced hates with loves for you once again.
We know you have a good heart, you can accept their apologies and don’t use them as scape goat, but don’t make mistake of accepting those people back else the second phase of betrayal will be to corrupt Ododo’s mind against you and that would be a disaster you will ever live to regret.
None of them and their subordinates should come back to serve in Ododo’s Government. Ododo is too good and innocent to have his government infected with those stool pigeons.
Even if anyone will disappoint you or Ododo, let it not be same people because those ones have their hands soaked with bloods and lot more. They could do anything to get what they want or spoil what they want.
Look for calm and responsible new brides as chief of staff, AG, Commissioner of Chieftaincy Affairs, but avoid those asking you to pick them. More importantly, see how the next administration will improve on salary, just like Tinubu, you will become the Kogi hero for life.
