The immediate past governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, on Sunday, asked his counterpart in Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, to come out of his hiding and answer his case with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The EFCC is investigating Bello and has declared him wanted after the former governor failed to show up for arraignment at the Federal High Court in Abuja, where the anti-graft agency filed N80.2bn fraud charges against him.

During a public event at the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Makurdi, Benue State, the immediate past governor, Samuel Ortom, made a public call for his counterpart, Governor Yahaya Bello, to come forward and address the charges against him.

Ortom, in a stern warning, stated that Governor Bello’s continued evasion of the charges would not only bring disgrace to former governors across the country but also escalate the seriousness of the situation.

Ortom said, “I want to use this opportunity to advise my younger brother and friend, Governor Yahaya Bello, not to disgrace former governors.

“You don’t need to hide. You don’t need to resist arrest or anything. Go there and respond. The EFCC (officials) are human beings. If they are making inquiries, the laws are there.

“I have tried to get him on the phone, but I could not. I have tried those around him, but I could not, so I want this to be noted. Wherever he is, if he can hear me, thank God the press is here; he should come out.”

Recall that shortly after leaving office in May 2023, the EFCC invited Ortom, and he visited the Markudi office of the anti-graft agency in June 2023.

Ortom was released to go after being quizzed by EFCC investigators.

Bello knows if he goes to the EFCC office to respond, the next time he will see the sky will be the day a court wants to hear his case. The evidence against Bello is so overwhelming that no defense counsel or even bribed judge can save him.

“I have tried to get him on the phone, but I could not. I have tried those around him, but I could not,

Wahala for that party of thieves, rogues and ex convicts.

Shame on you White Lion for taking the opportunity of Kogi youth and using it AGAINST Kogites in such a wicked and reckless manner.

We saw the way you were busy enriching yourself here in Abuja and wondered how Kogi was coping.

Paying school fees for children wey never enter the school with public funds.


Tuehhhh......

You be wicked man, Yahaya Adoza Bello!

They should give him the kind of treatment corrupt opposition politicians got during Buhari’s regime.

Ex Governors are now scared, cos this will make EFCC to look further and many of those blood drinkers will be in jail

Bello is a bloody thief just like all his colleagues in APc

PLAY YOUR GAME IN THE RIGHT WAY BELLO

Bello should heed Ortom's advice & face the charges against him with courage & integrity. Evading responsibility will only worsen the situation & tarnish his reputation further. He should consider the long-term consequences of his actions as it's crucial to cooperate with the authorities and trust in the legal process to resolve the matter justly.

we all know you stole even more.

White lion don turn white rat hiding inside a hole. When he was stealing he didn't see a day like this coming?

The naked dance at the village market then chased away abi?

Bello is really guilty before is trial started and some stupid youth in kogi are protesting in of him.
Corruption is sinking Nigeria everyday.
