Members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the National Assembly from Kogi State, House of Assembly members, state executive and  prominent party leaders from the state, have set up a panel to investigate Governor Yahaya Bello of alleged anti-party activities.
Members of the disciplinary are: Senator Dino Melaye ( Chairman); Hon. S.T.Adejoh (Secretary); Senator Mohammed Ohiare; Senator Abubakar Abdulrahman; Senator Nicholas Ugbane and Alhaji Haddy Ametuo, APC chairman in the state.  Others include Buba Jibril, Hajia Hajara Aliyu, Hon. Folasade Joseph, and Hon. Suleiman Ali.  Kogi APC leaders alleged that, “out of the 15 Commissioners he (Bello) appointed, PDP has 13 card-carrying members while APC has two. Out of the 105 members of the Caretaker Committee members for the 21 Local Government Councils, PDP has 72 while APC has 33.” They also said, “Out of the 28 people he appointed as Special Advisers and Senior Special Assistants,  PDP has 24, APC has one, APGA has one, Labour has one, Accord has one.” The party said it acted  based on the Article 12 (8) of the APC constitution,  to convey the meeting and agreed to set up the committee made up of members from the three senatorial districts of the state to invite the governor, for necessary questioning.
The committee will review various allegations leveled against the governor and report back within seven days.
The APC accused the governor, among others,  of appointing card-carrying members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state as commissioners, special advisers,  and councils’ caretaker committee members.
According to the resolution of the meeting, which was also attended by the APC Chairman in the state, Alhaji Haddy Ametuo, and  read to journalists by Melaye after the meeting, Bello allegedly made all the appointments without carrying the party along.
