KOGI GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION: IMAGINE IF SENATOR DINO MELAYE WINS, WHAT WILL BE THE FATE OF GOVERNOR YAHAYA BELLO WHEN HE LEAVES OFFICE?

Former Senator and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Kogi state, Senator Dino Melaye, ImageImage
has renewed his attack against Kogi state governor, Yahaya Bello.

Melaye, who was speaking to Arise TV on his victory at Kogi PDP Governorship Primary, accused the Kogi state government under the leadership of Yahaya Bello of the All Progressives Congress (APC),
of deteriorating the condition of the state’s capital city, Lokoja, to the level of a local government area.

It seems the rift between the duo is not yet over as Senator Dino who renewed the attack against the State Governor had said in 2018 that he saw
Governor Yahaya Bello in a decorated prison uniform.

One could ask, what will become of Governor Bello if his annointed Candidate, Alhaji Usman Ododo fails to win the forthcoming Governorship Election in November this year?
Governor Yahaya Bello will leave office in January next year as New Government will be inaugurated in Kogi State on the 27th of January, 2024.

She wrote: “Go there and toast him yourself.
Women nowadays snatch married man from their wives...there is nothing wrong whosoever snatching a single man to yourself. Image
Ladies sit down clocking 30, 40 and going over 50 while waiting for a man to come and ask them out or ask them for relationship. You can start one!

A woman can propose to a man and tell him I want to marry you, there is nothing wrong about that...let's keep pride away.
Go there and ask him yourself. Even if you are older than him, it won't spoil anything because marriage is a serious business so you shouldn't be waiting for "anyone that calls me" until a mad-Man shows up for you.

The giant popularly known as "Hungry Lion", was the strongest man in the Old Kwara State, and one of the toughest in Nigeria's history.

Hungry Lion, who's real name is Hassan Kumar is a native of Ebira in modern day Kogi State. Image
Historical accounts reveal that he was once regarded as the strongest man in Kogi Central which was previously a part of Kwara State.

Standing at a towering height of over 8feet tall, his strength was legendary, as he could pull a vehicle with a rope tied to his teeth,
carry five bags of cement on his chest, and even transport a motorcycle with a rider on his shoulder. Hungry Lion could give Anthony Joshua a run for his money. Interestingly, he was married twice, first to an Ebira woman and then to a woman from Maiduguri.
