Yahaya Bello, Tagged By Omoyele As 'Most Irresponsible, Incompetent U-50 Nigerian Governor' Commiserates With Sowore's Family Over Jide's Killing

Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi has condemned the killing of Olajide Sowore, younger brother to former Presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore.

Olajide was killed on Saturday in Okada, Edo State.

Recall that Omoyele Sowore belittled Bello in June when former Super Eagles captain visited the All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart. Sowore had written: “@mikel_john_obi As ur career in football flames out, another one starts in sycophancy + ass licking! At least for sycophancy, you don’t need any rigorous practice! Enjoy it while it lasts with, @OfficialGYBKogi the most irresponsible and incompetent Nigerian governor below 50."

Nonetheless, the governor griefed with the Sahara Reporters Publisher.

In a condolences message signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Muhammed Onogwu, Bello commiserated with the Sowore family, stating that the death of  Olajide  was indeed a painful one.

Bello noted that evil men carrying out such an act of cowardice on a harmless citizen,  must be brought to book, adding that no life should be lost in such a barbaric manner.

The governor said Olajide Sowore, a student of Pharmacy at the Igbinedion University, Okada, was making a remarkable feat, hence served as an inspiration and example of a determined individual.

He prayed for God to give the family the fortitude to bear the loss, urging security operatives not to leave any stone unturned to unravel those behind such act of callousness.
