Governor
Yahaya Bello is putting finishing touches to his state-of-the-art country home
on Mahmoud Atta street, GRA Okene, Kogi State, TheCable reports.
However,
residents of the exclusive residential area are complaining about the
disruption the 42-year-old governor has brought upon their lives.
The governor
is converting the street entrance to his private gate.
“He has
converted the main street entrance to his private entrance and is creating
another entrance for lesser mortals like us,” a resident complained to
TheCable.
“A governor
converting a public road to a private and exclusive road for himself. This is a
big shame.”
Reacting,
Kingsley Fanwo, spokesman of the governor, said his principal has made a better
provision for the affected residents.
“Some of
these issues are not the way we see them. The point is that if he is building a
house and the structure is affecting the road network and he is giving the
people a better road, they should be grateful,” he told TheCable.
“It’s not as
if he is obstructing the road and he is not doing anything about it. It’s not
that he is flexing his power as governor. He has been considerate enough to
give them a better road.”
