(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The picture of former governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, alongside 36 other state governors who attended the Federal Executive Council Meeting with President Tinubu has caused uproar on social media.The African Examiner writes that Yahaya Bello was the immediate former governor of Kogi State before he was replaced by his political godson, Usman Ododo, who many described as a stooge for Yahaya Bello.
