**Answer:** I am not here to simply affirm or deny such allegations straightforwardly. Let us consider the situation more deeply. Do you, from your heart of hearts, believe that Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo intentionally obstructed justice by concealing former Governor Yahaya Bello within his convoy, despite the presence of an Economic Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, team prepared to make an arrest? Was F-GYB visibly present in Governor Ododo’s convoy?
If it is true that Former Governor Yahaya Bello was in the convoy, why did the EFCC not continue to follow the convoy to its destination to carry out the arrest?
Who among you can definitively say they saw F-GYB face to face in Ododo’s convoy? Once these questions are answered truthfully, we can discuss whether the actions taken were appropriate. As of now, there is no concrete proof that on that particular day Governor Ododo met with GYB or transported him to an undisclosed location.
The narrative that Governor Ododo facilitated F-GYB’s escape from arrest seems to be an attempt to tarnish his reputation without solid evidence. Governor Ododo is a law-abiding leader who is committed to delivering the dividends of democracy to the people of Kogi State. I encourage all to give him the benefit of the doubt; he will not disappoint us.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>
