Bello Takes Oath OF Office As 4th Kogi Civilian Governor


*Declares zero tolerance to corruption, impunity
*Inauguration ordinary ritual that will not stand test of time – Faleke.


 The new Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Adoza Bello, on Wednesday, declared his stands against corruption and impunity, said he was in a hurry to develop the state.

Bello stated this today, after he was administered the oath of office and oath of allegiance as the 4th civilian governor of the state by the State Chief Judge, Justice Nasir Ajanah.

The governor however was betrayed by his emotion, and busted into tears while remembering his late father and eulogising his mother for her sole effort to raised him up; and the many troubles before he became the governor.
The inauguration ceremony was however conducted without a deputy-governor, as the unwilling deputy-governor elect, James Faleke boycotted the events in continuation of his stand not to be associated with Bello’s emergence as replacement to late Abubakar Audu.
The swearing-in ceremony which was peaceful was witnessed by mammoth crowd inside and outside the Confluence stadium, with the 25,000 sitting capacity stadium filled to the brim.
Speaking after the inauguration, Bello said the era of corruption and impunity is over, stressing to follow the footpath of President Muhammedu Buhari in developing the state.
“I will be responsible to all people irrespective of where they stand during the election. President Muhammadu Buhari’s statement on May 29, 2015 where he declared, ‘I belong to everybody, but I belong to nobody,’ will characterise my tenure as I promise equitable governance for all the people of the state.
“My administration will serve the people of the state. And because corruption is the greatest evil channelled through impunity, I declare my zero tolerance to corruption and impunity.”

The most talented speakers often have training in rhetoric and behavioral psychology. Here are 10 great examples of eloquent speakers who have made their mark on the world. 1. Martin Luther King, Jr “I Have a Dream” is perhaps the most powerful speech in American history. In poetic, unequivocal language, he explains how people can live up to their ideals for the sake of their children. 2. Abraham Lincoln In a speech only two minutes long, Lincoln explained the moral justification for the Civil War in his Gettysburg Address. 3. Winston Churchill In a few short years Churchill transformed himself from a burly, unemployed, failed novelist to a leader of the free world with ...
