Yahaya Bello, governor of Kogi, says merchants of insecurity in the state, will face hard times.

Onogwu Muhammed, chief press secretary to the governor, quoted Bello as saying this when he addressed Ebira Peoples Association in Kano.

The governor said his administration takes the issue of security of lives and property of the Kogi people seriously and would not relent in bringing enemies of the state to book.

“It is our collective destiny to change the narratives about our society,” he said.

“We can collectively determine the prism by which we are judged by outsiders, the onus is on us to always show our good side at all times.”

Bello said the forthcoming polls are crucial to the consolidation of the “progress” already made in the state.
