Mr President Sir,

Spare OUR SOUL; A CRY OF AGONY FROM THE ARMY OF VICTIMS OF MALADMINISTRATION IN KOGI STATE TO YOUR EXCELLENCY

Welcome and all the best from the armed force of the persecuted, misused and misled subjects of Kogi state. We wish to truly express gratitude toward Almighty Allah (SWT) for the rapid recuperation He conceded you and in the meantime ask that He allows you the quality and intelligence to pilot the undertakings of this extraordinary country to grand statures.

Your Excellency, we are constrained to trouble you as of now that you just came back to office, remembering the way that there are other critical state matters requiring your consideration.

In any case, we consider this medium as our last life line in view of the genuine and practical nature of our case.

Your Excellency, we assume you mind not have been acquainted with our circumstance in Kogi state and accordingly it is proper for us to compactly disclose to you.

Kogi our dearest state is experiencing extreme trial and ungainly avoidable conditions forced on us by his Excellency Governor Yahaya Bello. This may sound fantastic to you, however Kogi subjects are in serious desolation coming about because of the maladministration of our Governor.

The misery of Kogites is obvious from the more than 14 months non-installment of compensations and benefits to the laborers and beneficiaries some of whom are biting the dust nearly on consistent schedule emerging from avoidable conditions. As it is in Kogi state today, the shared factors are; starvation, gloom and disregard.

Your Excellency, you may review that the prompt past organization in Kogi state under the administration of Governor Idris Wada, connected for genuinely more than Fifty billion naira (N50, 000,000,000) bailout reserve to settle all compensations and annuities unfulfilled obligations and other related issues. Be that as it may, the bailout store was not discharged to him. The present organization of Governor Yahaya Bello could get to the entirety of twenty billion (N20, 000,000,000) of that total. In a similar vein, a few monetary mediations, for example, Paris Club cash discount, discount of the costs by the organization of previous Governor Idris Ibrahim and additionally the statutory month to month distributions and the enhanced Internally Generated Revenue floating right around a billion naira month to month were altogether gotten to by the present organization.

Unfortunately, all these money related mediations intended to improve the sufferings of government workers and retired people have been horribly misused and blundered by our Governor and his group. Without particle of misrepresentation, as we compose this letter to you, the government workers and beneficiaries are owed 14 months of compensations and benefits separately and are subsequently suffering from servile neediness.

As of now all the state possesses tertiary foundations have been on strike throughout recent months and in addition the restorative Doctors in the state are additionally on strike because of non installment of pay rates.

Troubling is the exasperating actuality that, at whatever point we attempted to challenge this bad form, the Governor utilizes the security mechanical assembly to disturb and to stifle the hapless blameless residents. Indeed, he has additionally unendingly played the mind-amusement on us by making us to comprehend that he has a private compatibility with the Presidency and he is pretty much a SACRED COW!

In this way, authorities at the Federal Level would not notice to us regardless of the amount we cry. Unfortunately enough, the media that should be the veritable road to let you know and your God dreading group about our pickle, has been commandeered by the Governor's group . Also, these vigorously financed media assistants have totally confiscated us of all roads to be listened.

The Governor's incessant reason for this hardship is that there is an on-going screening of the specialists and retired people. This screening which began on the 22nd of February, 2016 is still on-going. This has mortified, eradicated, depleted, blackmailed, denied and messed with the trustworthiness and the prosperity of Pensioners and Civil workers. As prior clarified above, government employees and retired people meet their on less than ideal passing practically on regular routine in Kogi state on account of this orchestrated screening intended to purchase time and avoid from the obligation of pay installment.

We are prepared to outfit you with certainties of the government employees and retired people's pickles of for the most part heart assault and strokes continuation of the non-installment of their privileges and which accordingly finished to their troublesome demise.

On this matter, numerous Kogi subjects trust that the Federal Government had strategically remained unapproachable and declined to screen/guarantee these monetary intercessions advantage the Civil workers and Pensioners they were really implied for. The explanation behind this origination is the general assessment that Governor Yahaya Bello is 'The Presidency,s Sacred Cow'. Obviously, he has straightforwardly bragged about this and there is a current video cut in which he unequivocally advised the laborers to report him (the Governor) to whoever they so wished including that he was strong.

Perception AND PRAYERS

It is in perspective of the over that we mention the accompanying objective facts and supplications. We emphatically trust that you would utilize your great workplaces to regard this with dispatch as our dad and as overseer of equity, value and decency.

Consequently, we watch and implore as takes after:

1. That Kogi state senator, Alhaji Yahaya Bello has so far gotten to N20 Billion Naira bailout support and more than 11 Billion Naira Paris Club Money Refund, aside the predictable month to month distributions and different assets like the N10 billion Naira natural assets discount.

2. That Governor Yahaya Bello has intentionally and reliably misused all these budgetary mediations. What's more, the monies were not utilized for the reasons (compensations and benefits) implied for aside from that the assets were occupied for private use by the Governor and his political colleagues.

3. That the Civil Servants and Pensioners are still owed 14 months of compensations and benefits unfulfilled obligations.

4. That the Governor has keenly utilized an unending screening exercise as a postpone strategies and reason to keep us calm. A screening which could have been for quite some time finished up utilizing BVN to deal with the phantom specialists.

5. That the Federal Ministry of Finance ought to stop every single monetary mediation to Kogi state particularly the expected Paris Refund cash, until the Governor can represent the ones he has gotten up until now.

6. That we know as a reality that Governor Yahaya Bello would in any case decline to pay specialists and retired people regardless of the possibility that you give him the Paris Club Refund cash.

7. That the Federal Government ought to send a checking group that would guarantee assist monetary intercessions is wisely used to determine compensations and benefits.

8. That refusal to check the heedless and reprobate way of life and spending of the Governor and his associates would keep on deepening the misery of specialists and beneficiaries and perpetually undermine the war against debasement.

We along these lines, request now to hurriedly go to our guide or we as a whole die in the hands of Governor Yahaya Bello and his group of oppressors.
