Election: Rage In Kogi As Agents Of Govt Block Access Roads To Communities

By Ayodele Oni

There is rage and protest in some parts of Kogi State following blockage of linking roads to communities opposed to the politics of Governor Yahaya Bello.

The people, led by Natasha Akpoti – Uduaghan,  came out of their homes to discover that all major roads leading to the communities have been severed from the rest of Kogi State.

Today’s election may likely be marred, as officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC) may not be able to access the affected Communities.

In a viral video, Akpoti, with other residents trooped out to show to the entire world their plight in the hand of a Governor that has taken politics to the extreme.

Akpoti said one of the agents of the governor, who happens to be the Chairman of Saving Local Government, escorted an  escavator to the road and dug a deep gully.

“What this means is that INEC officials will find it difficult to reach here and if Yahaya Bello and his APC goons decide to attack me, the DPOs will not be able to reach here.”

Another viral video showed Akpoti leading other residents to cover up the affected areas to ensure easy access to the affected areas.
