Former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, is facing public scrutiny after reportedly purchasing a Rezvani Vengeance, worth over 1.2 billion Naira, amidst multiple ongoing corruption cases in court. The extravagant purchase comes as a shock, given the current economic climate in Kogi State.
The Rezvani Vengeance, a high-end luxury SUV, has been described as an “apocalypse SUV” and boasts a bullet-proof package with a 7-passenger layout. It includes features such as bullet-proof glass and over 20 security features, making it an extravagant acquisition amidst financial controversies.
The purchase was revealed during the recent Sallah celebration, which has led to criticism from various quarters regarding the former governor’s priorities amidst his ongoing legal battles. The public is questioning the justification of such a costly purchase while the state faces developmental challenges and economic hardships.
Critics argue that the governor’s actions send a wrong message to the citizens of Kogi state and underscore the need for increased transparency and fiscal responsibility in governance.
