Shoreline Natural Resources boss, Kola Karim has been named as one of the men forming a line-up to succeed the Oyo State governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde in 2027.

 

Karim’s name appears on the list judging by his recent closeness with Governor Makinde and the strong belief that the Governor recently expressed his wish to support a technocrat and not just a politician.

 

Pundits in Oyo State had earlier predicted a force in the boss of Ilaji farms, Engineer Dotun Sanusi, hinging his strength to his closeness to President Bola Tinubu and his contribution in the last election that brought in Governor Makinde, also his deep purse which is considered as a major factor was not ruled out, but the billionaire turned down the request, citing business concerns and other reasons.

A group, Kogi Frontline Solidarity has condemned the approval of Ali Bello by the new Kogi State Governor, Ahmed Ododo as his Chief of Staff.

 

The new Governor who took over from former Governor Yahaya Bello while making his first appointment named Ai Bello his Chief of Staff, a move regarded by the group as demeaning and embarrassing.

 

The group secretary of Kogi Frontline Solidarity, Afiz Buawa made this disclosure in a statement he sent to journalists.

 

In the email, Buawa hinted that the new Chief of Staff aside from being the nephew to the former Governor is under investigation by the EFCC for misappropriation.

 

In the message, the Secretary queried the decision saying ‘you can see the level of people running the affairs of Kogi. It’s obvious that all the appointments made so far was done by Yahaya Bello. You can just do the simple maths that the new Chief of Staff, aside from being his nephew is one of the people that stole from the State and we are saying no to his appointment. Let him clear himself from EFCC first. It’s rather shameful that Kogi is running a one-man-show’.

 

The Kogi Frontline Solidarity has vowed not to stop fighting till the appointment is reversed claiming Ali Bello as the Chief of Staff in this new government will give a wrong impression and determine how the State would be run in the next 4 years.
