According to Senator Melaye who is the convener, Stop Bello Movement, the action is among others, to address the continuing mindless pilfering of our common patrimony, by those who have legitimized executive banditry in the management of our collective resources. 

In a statement Tuesday to Journalists in Abuja received by VoiceAirMedia, Senator Melaye said that as people of Kogi West, they must in unison, come together to stop what he described as the unspeakable violence and tyranny which have since become state policy under the Yahaya Bello Administration. He said, “We will call a ‘Save Kogi Conference’ soon to x-ray the liberalization of arms and ammunition hitherto alien to our parts, the unprovoked assault on our people and killing of the innocent by the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Kogi State in a most desperate and blood-stained electioneering process. “We cannot afford to be disillusioned and depressed into despair and hopelessness. 

The battle to rescue our state from temporal opportunists is a battle of no retreat no surrender. As a matter of urgency therefore, we must retool and be ready to reorganize and restrategize if we hope to make an impression at the November polls.” Earlier, he said, “Fellow Kogites we will be launching the ‘Stop GYB Movement’ in all the 21 Local Government Areas of Kogi state very soon. I call on all Kogites to be resolute and determined in their decision to stop the continuing mindless pilfering of our common patrimony, by those who have legitimized executive banditry in the management of our collective resources. 

Together, let’s stop the unspeakable violence and tyranny which have since become state policy under the Yahaya Bello Administration. “We must be ready for Bello in our determination to give him double dose of whatever he introduces henceforth. God is greater than Bello and his monstrous associates. “The will of the people of Kogi State shall prevail as we open the second curtain of our political activities for year 2019. “Never again shall we be victims of the Governor’s thuggish wickedness and satanic manifestations. The security agencies must as a matter of utmost urgency, check the lawless activities of the Governor’s aides, notably his police aide-de-camp and the others.
