Senator Smart Adeyemi during the week, indicted the governor of Abia State, calling him a champagne drinker and a drunkard.
While disclosing that his colleagues and himself cannot give their children the things they had when they were growing up, he advised that at least, they should be able to keep them safe.
He said that it is difficult to police all institutions of learning against the ravaging bandits all over the country.
Smart Adeyemi said he realises that there are governors who are doing their best.
He added that his state is lucky to have a governor in the person of Yahaya Bello, who has taken security as a serious priority.
According to him, Kogi State is bordered by 9 states but they are lucky not to have the unfortunate security occurrence in some of their neighbouring states.
He listed all the projects, ongoing and completed undertaken by his governor, Yahaya Bello.
Then, he took an unexpected swiped at the Abia State governor:
“Mr president, in some states of Nigeria today, where you have highly intelligent people, highly educated people, highly enterprising people like Abia, they’re governed by drunkards.
“The governor of Abia is a champagne drinking man, he has not worked for his people. Roads are not constructed in Abia, Mr President. Abia people are impoverished more than ever before.
“Abia people are unfortunate to have a man who is a drunkard govern them.”
Senator Adeyemi insisted that his governor is competent enough to be the president of Nigeria.
Obviously miffed by the daring accusations against his governor, Minority leader, Enyinnaya Abaribe told the house that Nigeria will be a disaster if ever, the Kogi State governor becomes president.
