Petra Akinti Onyegbule, the Senior Special Assistant to Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello shared these photos of the Governor driving himself to work praising his humility. To her, it is a pretty big deal? What do you think? See what she wrote after the cut..
"When Obama carries his bag, we oooh and aaaah over photos of him doing so. We say in our clime, an "ordinary councillor" doesn't. That elected officials in Nigeria hardly do anything themselves. But then, I saw my Governor drive himself and his chief of staff and thought "aha! The existing narrative is not true."
Our Governor certainly doesn't have the master mentality. He sees himself as a leader, into whose hands power has been entrusted to better the collective lives of Kogites.
Governor Yahaya Bello is a special breed. Some of us know this already. With time, y'all will see this is no packaging. And that he's the real deal! Erm, bad belle people won't be able to resist asking "what's the big deal?" grin emoticon You sure it isn't?"
when Cameron uses the train to work... Nigerians, kp praising the irrelevant
ReplyDelete-D great anonymous now as Vivian Reginalds
Igbinedion, Ibori, Amaechi and Fayose all drove themselves as governors. I once saw the late Prince Abubakar Audu driving in Lokoja in the early 90's as governor without convoy. Nothing new madam propaganda SSA
DeleteHaba,, its not a big deal
DeleteWho cares if he drives himself or not? Just make life easy for the people u are governing.
ReplyDeleteNo big deal biko.... Even some pple derives pleasure in driving......
ReplyDelete....... I love Jesus......

ReplyDeleteOdiegwu, this is what they do when they want to steal the state dry, paint a Messiah picture while milking them.

ReplyDeletePEPSI ADDICT
She is doing her job.....but she should know that the mantra of her party is CHANGE
ReplyDeleteGov ibikunle amosun of Ogun state drives his mercedes benz G wagon by himself. He basically even moves around without a convoy, Jst a patrol vehicle following his G wagon. It's commendable but it's not a big deal
ReplyDeleteits only in Kogi things like that happen. why will he not fear abi the minister we lost on sunday also was not from same state. haba the guy like his life.
ReplyDeleteMtecwwwwww abeg jooo!

ReplyDeleteWhen we've already lost two public figure to Road accident, the guy probably feels safer behind the wheels
ReplyDeleteMtchewwwww! Driving himself to work n plenty security walking beside his car is rubbish madam special assistant. Sure those BG's can die walking and d cameramen too can die while running to snap d almighty Kogi governor driving himself... dee
ReplyDeleteKenyan president drives himself most times,. This is not a big deal
ReplyDeleteRubbish, doesnt the British PM takes train to work? so whats special about him driving... Double your hustle
ReplyDeleteDey r on their own
ReplyDeleteWhy can't i stop thinking about pastor Suleiman's prophesy concerning Kogi state governor?
ReplyDeleteIs he driving himself because he's scared on an "accident"?
Sir, we are praying to avert whatever obstacles are sent your way.
While driving, don't forget to obey traffic lights and stop at a zebra crossing for pedestrians.
Some governors drive themselves because they have trust issues, they think someone is out to kill them and don't trust a driver not to be one of those people, enugu former governor chimaroke used to do same
ReplyDeleteHow does it affect the price of fuel?
ReplyDeleteLinda giv us this stupid girls twitter handle let's go hard on her stupid idiot ass licker.biill gates drive himself ted turner of cnn drives himself. Even mark zuckerberg so wats d big deal
ReplyDeleteLol. Supported.
DeleteMe I no blame the guy o. In this era of accident related deaths. It's okay to place your safety and destiny in your own hands. Go on Gov..
ReplyDeleteWhat's this world turning to?..an SSA to a State Governor writting like this???...the #EndTime is surely here with us.my Lord Jesus Christ,pls do not forsake me at your rapture
ReplyDeleteYES Linda!it is a big deal.maybe in the UK or someplace else it is not but in Naija,it is.how any governors in this country have u seen driving himself?!me I neva see Sha...let's call a spade a spade abeg!
ReplyDeleteIt is not a big deal jare!
ReplyDeleteI still don't understand why the governor is being accorded a 'special breed' status because he drives himself. Let him drive the car he bought with his own money, let him reduce his salary, let him turn around Kogi state for good then we can think of giving him a special status.
ReplyDeleteLinda wot do u think? Ofcos a big deal, how many guvnors hav u seen doin dat?
ReplyDeleteIdiots! What's the big deal? A certain Ngige and Rotimi Amaechi did same as governors, even Sam Egwu of Ebonyi state was always spotted boarding a motorcycle (Okada).
ReplyDeleteMr SSA let me tell u why the governor is driving himself because he doesn't trust Kogi people. Let look at it this way in the last two month strong things have happened in kogi true or false. So don't politicize it because he will soon be unseat.
ReplyDeleteExactly he'll soon be removed
DeleteShe shud pls shut up,she jt wants to familiarise
ReplyDeleteWhat a stupid butch
ReplyDeleteStop sucking his dick and tell us another story
Personally I like driving so much so I don't see it as a big deal...if I had a gov't office, I'm pretty sure i'll ride myslf most of the time cos personally I hate back seats
ReplyDeleteShallow Minds!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the big deal about it.Former governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi drives himself and there is no noise about it.
ReplyDeletea man just 40 years.why wouldnt he drive himslef to work.whats the distance,plz next jari.
ReplyDeleteIt's only in Africa leaders are presume to be gods
ReplyDeleteMaking a deal out of nothing...
ReplyDeleteKini big deal?! And why are his Windows down by the way? So we can see he's driving himself Abi.?
ReplyDeleteNa mumu.Amaechi was known for this.you hardly see A matching being ferried around by a driver when he was governor.i pray for her to receive sense
ReplyDeleteWe need fuel and light because he drivers himself we should do what? David Cameron takes the train should we lick his feet?
ReplyDeleteThere is no big deal
ReplyDeletebig deal? abeg he should go and rest jare...if he likes he should trekk to the office, who e don hep?
ReplyDeletebig deal? abeg he should go and rest jare...if he likes he should trekk to the office, who e don hep?
ReplyDeleteLinda na you get your mouth o!
ReplyDeleteThere is no big deal, instead a major Security risk.... There is a reason why DSS has specially appointed well trained drivers for very important and highly placed Principals. You don't see foreign leaders drive themselves not because they can not driver but for safety and protection they don't. So it is not in any way a big deal or a deal at all.
ReplyDeleteDon't be deceived, he had just sent his driver to go and apply for driver's license and see if truly he would pass to get one. Lesson learnt.

ReplyDeleteThat's humility, and it's a key factor in development. It means a lot. Shows he's not working alone but with his team and everyone is being carried along. How many Nigerian leaders can do that ? #AnewDawnKogiState.
ReplyDeleteNo big deal about it Joor...did we not see David Cameroon boarding a train to work three days ago..
ReplyDeletewell! it's suppose to be no big deal but then again it's a big deal in this part of the world because u will hardly find a governor that drives himself to work everyday.
ReplyDeleteWen he pays salaries,then we can oooh and haaaa over ths picture,fr nw Wats d big deal?mtcheeew BDW we dnt xpect u to say Anythn diff
ReplyDeleteNa u ask question,na u answer urself
ReplyDeleteNa u ask question,na u answer urself
ReplyDeletestoryyyy, he is just being careful to avoid what happened to the Ocholi's and the COZA pastor has succeded in putting fear in him.
ReplyDeletePrime Minister of Britain David Cameron goes to work in a train so whats the big deal if he drives himself to work?
ReplyDeleteI don't see any news story here pls.
ReplyDeleteNa real shallow mind u get for commending dis!!
ReplyDeleteAfter the manner in which James Ocholi died, why won't he drive himself???

ReplyDeleteIts not a big deal, But most Nigerian leader would not do that, thats it. If Obama carries his bag he will be praised n compared to Nigerian leaders meaning Nigerian leaders have pride.Buts haes only trying to say his different n humble, thats all.
ReplyDeletel honestly think there is either an 'Ego' Problem or probably there's something between Linda and Comrade Petra which they are not telling us...U know Lady's Wahala!!!!!Because for me, l don't see any issue on Petra's Post, Its just to show how humble the Governor was, especially in the Africa Continent.
ReplyDeleteBut Then,l also think its not safe, security wise: especially Going by the circumstances that led to AYB's emergence as Kogi Governor. Anyway, The Governor should Continue his work and make us Proud because l am highly optimistic that AYB will not in anyway disappoint Kogites.
May this SSA receive wisdom IJN. This post shows how naive she is. I hope she is not one of the beat brains from Kogi
ReplyDeletewhat is special since as he is driving his security were tracking is it not more punishment for them, he could have as well allow them to drive so they can rest.
ReplyDeleteNa new tin
ReplyDeleteSee the flamboyant car he is even driving !!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the big deal??!!! Senseless people.
ReplyDeleteIs it a crime if he drives himself? It part of life. Linda shebi you also drives yourself?
ReplyDeleteIF YOU ARE NOT FAYOSE,YOU CANT GET THE SAME VIBES BY TRYING TO BE REAL!FAYOSE DOESNT TRY TO BE,HE IS!GO TRY OKADA WITHOUT AN AIDE!!
ReplyDeleteA nation gets the type of leaders it deserves. What is the big deal about him driving himself?
ReplyDeleteNo big deal mr Cameroon and other members of the parliament here in the uk even uses train and public transport sometimes
ReplyDeleteDer is no big deal in driving your self to work.
ReplyDeleteWho won't want to drive a brand new Range Rover Autobiography by himself... Thrills of being 40!#Normal
ReplyDeletePetra Akinti Onyegbule, the Senior Special Assistant to Kogi State Governor should be sacked....it shows how naive and dumb the SSA is,No big deal in a president driving him or herself talkless of Kogi state Gov...mischew
ReplyDeleteHe is driving a 30m naira car to work by himself,who wouldn't want to drive himself in such a luxury car? He should drive a 2007 camry to work by himself,then we will know he is down to earth.
ReplyDeleteIt is a big deal! For one, it is a security risk. The security detail should have refused the offer the Governor drive himself to work. I assume the Security detail are posted there by DSS. A formal complaint should be made to their department. It should not happen again. That Governor is their responsibility. Their lives are in DANGER too. They should put their foot down.
ReplyDeleteNA fear dey catch am o. How come suddenly he started to drive himself? even you yourself no hear of wetin that driver do to oga hon. minister for state? Oga govina trust only himself and none else henceforth even you we ydey yarn kpakpa.
ReplyDeleteGov Mimiko drives himself most times! It's no big deal abeg! Give us light, fuel, ha!
