A former Minister of Information, Frank Nweke Jnr, has alleged that the embattled former governor of Kogi state, Yahaya Bello was reckless in his speech and conduct and treated Kogi people as his slaves. 

Nweke shared this on X while reacting to EFCC declaring Yahaya wanted for alleged fraud and money laundering.

 Nweke who served under the Obasanjo administration, wrote;

‘’The man is a specimen of those to whom political power must never be handed to. He carried on as if there was no tomorrow. The man had no sense of responsibility. It’s doubtful he had a sense of self-awareness. Public service and public trust meant nothing to him. He was reckless in his speech and his conduct. Kogi people were his slaves. Every and anything Kogi was his to do as he pleased. He only remembered he had a tenure when it ended. Now we know why he chose to squat with his successor, the new caitiff, in Lugard House.”
