A day before the Presidential and National Assembly elections were held, Governor Bello allegedly ordered bulldozers to demarcate a road linking Kogi Central Senatorial District.
The move was seen as an alleged ploy to prevent officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission from taking election materials to the stronghold of his political rival and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
