Dino Melaye stated this in a statement personally signed by him in Abuja.
He maintained that the governor’s latest shenanigans was never a surprise, in the sense that money is involved.He said Federal Government will make funds available to Bello to kick-start the pilot scheme in Kogi State.
“As a true representative of the people of Kogi West senatorial zone and on behalf of my constituents, we warn in strong terms that our soil, land, water and air cannot be used for cattle colonies.
