Power is transient, so Senator Shehu Sani, a social critic and human rights activist, seems to say as he mocks former associates of Yahaya Bello who have abandoned him in his time of need.
In his heydays as governor, it was common on social media to see celebrities displaying pictures they took with the Kogi State governor.
Now that Yahaya Bello is having his day in court and grappling with the anticorruption agencies and the police, coupled with the arm-twisting, mugshots and all, the Senator is asking: where are the celebrities, the sportsmen and women who flock to the governor regularly at Lugard House, Lokoja?
Taking to his verified X (Twitter) account, Senator Sani said, “All those Sportsmen, Beauty Queens and Movie Stars who used to visit Lokoja have now abandoned the White Lion.”
Senator Sani labelled them “Fairweather” friends who will be with you when the going is good because of what they are benefitting.
The former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello is standing trial at the Federal High Court, Abuja, on multiple charges of money laundering, fraud and mismanagement of public funds totalling over N200 billion.
