The representatives of Kogi West Senatorial District, Senator Dino Melaye, and a former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, have lambasted the Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, for his outburst on Catholic Bishops, who visited President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday.
While reacting to the visit of the Bishops, under the aegis of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria, who told Buhari Nigerians were angry, Bello, among others, said the position was informed by the fact that the access to stolen funds used to pay tithes had been blocked by the President.
Bur reacting on Saturday in a statement, Melaye said Bello’s comments on the Bishops was “verbal diarrhoea.”
He said: “I apologise to the Catholic Church and the Christian community for the verbal diarrhoea of the Governor of Kogi State.
“It is more obvious than ever that he needs some ‘equational’ balances at his end.
“This affliction on Nigeria shall not arise a second time.”
Fani-Kayode on his Twitter handle on Saturday said: “Gov. Yahaya Bello of Kogi state is looking for trouble and courting disaster.
“His gratuitous insult on hardworking and tithe-paying Christians has not gone unnoticed.
“If he does not sheath his sword we will unleash a verbal blizkrieg on his ugly head from which he may never recover.”
