The senatorial candidate of Kogi central under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Natasha Akpoti, alleged that Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello under the platform of All Progressive Congress (APC) has ordered the excavation of all the roads leading to the opposition stronghold in the state.
Alpoti was seen lamenting in a 2 minute 45 secs video “We woke up this morning to the news that Yahaya Bello has instructed the excavation of all access road to my hometown; my hometown is cut off from Obangede community and Eika, and right now I am on another road which has also been excavated; as you can see there is a big gully that has been dug. So, what this means is, INEC would not be able to get materials to certain communities” she lamented.

As Nigerians file out to decide their next president, Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has been described as the greatest threat to a free and fair election in Nigeria.
Deji Adeyanju, a socio-political activist, made the remark while accusing Bello of cutting three major roads to the opposition stronghold in the state.
On Thursday, the Kogi State Government said the excavation of some roads in Kogi Central was a deliberate security measure.
The state government said the measure was to restrict criminals from using the roads to cause havoc.
