In the footage that surfaced on social media, Bello was seen addressing a group of lawmakers and their supporters, as he nudged them to rally behind Speaker Aliyu Umar Yusuf and other Assembly members in ensuring smooth cooperation with the state government even if they don’t understand.
“Sit down. So, are you going in there now… Go and cooperate with the Speaker, other members of the House of Assembly of Kogi State, and be part of those that will support Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo in everything that comes to the Assembly,” Bello said in part of the video.
The lawmakers had all responded with a round of applause at the end of his remarks, signalling approval of the former governor’s call for unity and cooperation.
