Yahaya Bello can’t escape prison – Austin Okai predicts end of APC in Kogi

A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Austin Okai, says former governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, cannot escape being jailed.

Bello is currently facing trial for alleged N110.4 billion fraud brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, EFCC.

On Tuesday, a Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in Maitama, Abuja, dismissed an application filed by the ex-governor challenging the jurisdiction of the court to entertain the case.

Reacting, Okai, a Kogi-born socio-political activist said nothing will stop the former governor from going to jail.

He urged Kogi politicians to identify with the ADC, insinuating an end to alleged rigging by the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

He wrote, “Yahaya Bello is going to prison; it’s an obvious fact that he can’t escape it. Every wise politician in Kogi State should start identifying with the ADC now.

“APC rigging machines will not be able to function from Kuje”.
