‘You’re cheap, spineless,’ PDP knocks Kogi lawmakers

The major opposition party in Kogi State, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has described the state lawmakers as worse than “bootlickers”. It said they were “cheap and spineless.”

The party stated this in reaction to the move by the state legislature to impeach Governor Yahaya Bello’s deputy, Elder Simon Achuba.

Apparently saddened by the move, the state PDP in a statement signed by its publicity secretary, Prince Bode Ogunmola and issued in Lokoja on Friday, said the lawmakers were taking decisions that were self destructive.

“We have all along known that they are a bunch of bootlickers, but we did not realise that they are this cheap and spineless.

“What impeachable offence did the deputy governor commit by choosing to be on the side of the people and kicking against the open rape on our state treasury?

“With this calibre of men in our supposed hallowed chamber, our state is in deep trouble. We are constrained to warn that the lawmakers risk attracting to themselves the wrath of our people and more importantly, eroding the respect that should be accorded the institution,” the statement read.

The party warned the lawmakers to know that posterity will record any action they took in service to the state and humanity.

Achuba travails came after several alarms he raised against Governor Bello. Among other things, the deputy governor had claimed he had not been paid salary for a long period of time now and that Bello was after his life.
