Ibrahim Idris dares Yahaya Bello to publish report of probe panel on his administration

A former governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Ibrahim Idris, has dared Governor Yahaya Bello to publish the report of the probe panel that investigated his tenure as the governor of the state.

Idris made the call on Tuesday at his Abuja home while speaking with journalists, adding that rather than smearing his name, the governor should make public the report of the probe panel.

According to him, Bello’s statement, blaming his inability to fulfill his responsibilities to workers and pensioners on the debts he inherited from him (Idris) was false and meant to deliberately mislead the people and cover up his administration’s inadequacy.

The former governor wondered why Bello has been unable to come open with the findings of the probe panel, insisting that he remained confident that the panel has not found financial misdeed about him.

He said: “I am not claiming to be perfect, but I know I did my best when I was the governor. I am still popular till date in the state because of what I did for them; the people love me.”
