MEDIA OFFICE OF HIS EXCELLENCY, YAHAYA BELLO

No amount of blackmail will make His Excellency, Yahaya Bello, "come through the backdoor".

*STATEMENT*

On Tuesday, 23rd April 2024, Mr. Olanipekun Olukoyede, in a conduct unbecoming of a Legal Practitioner, organized a press conference where he made defamatory statements against His Excellency, Alhaji Yahaya Bello. Specifically, he alleged that Yahaya Bello withdrew cash from the Kogi State Government Account, sent it to Bureau De Change Operators, and used it to pay his children's school fees in advance.

*SETTING THE RECORDS STRAIGHT*

1. Yahaya Bello's children have attended the American International School, Abuja, since before he became Governor, and he has paid their fees as due without fail.
2. He did not pay USD720,000 or USD840,000 as alleged.
3. The payment commenced in 2021, not when he was leaving office.
4. He did not use Kogi State Government funds to pay the fees.
5. The EFCC's attempt to recover funds from the school was unsuccessful, and the court mandated the school to continue providing services.
6. The documents published online are public documents filed in court and show that Yahaya Bello has nothing to hide.
7. The payment is the subject of an ongoing court case, and we await the EFCC's proof in court.
8. We will not engage in prejudicial statements while the matter is sub judice.
9. We thank Nigerians who recognize the EFCC's desperation as personal vendetta.
10. We implore others not to be misled by mischievous narratives but to follow the case until justice is served.
11. Yahaya Bello will not be intimidated by blackmail and will continue to follow due process.

Thank you.
