ABUJA -Kogi State Governor, Mr. Yahaya Bello has denied of any crisis in the State House of Assembly.

He said: “My House is sitting and we have absolute peace in Kogi state. I am not aware of that the National Assembly is supposed to have taken over. The state is absolutely in peace and the legislative activities are ongoing.

“I am the executive and the executive is functioning and we are doing the best we can. The legislature is doing their own business and they are on it.

“They should remain calm. Kogi State has bled over a long period of time. This is not the time for political crisis. This is the time to work and I am here to work. I am not here to have any political fuss with anybody, whoever is ready should join me and let’s fix Kogi state”.

Also speaking on the federal government bailout funds to states, the the governor stated that his state was yet to receive any.

“We applied for it and its under processing so right now I have not gotten any bail-out yet.

“Well, I think to the best of my knowledge, the last administration either did not go on with the process properly, which we are doing now to correct whatever was not done properly so that we can access it for our people”, he said.
