It means in just one year, his New Direction Administration reduced the poverty rate among his constituents by several decimal points. Remember Governor Yahaya Bello was sworn-in on January 27, 2016. See 94/ranking-nigerian-states-pov erty-rates. On the other hand, the poverty rate in Kogi in the 2015 MPIs released nearly half a year before before Governor Bello took office is 26.4 percent. This is the poverty rate in the state based on data from 2016 back. Looking at the new ratings, one can see that the percentage incidence of Poverty in Kogi State in the just released Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) 2017 is 26.1 percent. I know this is not the type of news that gets attention when the lynch mob is out baying for the head of an administration, but for those really interested in human development, it is actually the most sensational news out today. Lo and behold, Kogi State under Yahaya Bello is one of the few to record an actual reduction in poverty rates! Then, the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) released the 2017 Global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPIs) showing the incidence of poverty in all Nigerian states. Not done with inviting Kogi State to the 72nd United Nations General Assembly in New York last month as one of four Nigerian success stories in the SDGs, the UN again showcased her at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs this week. While the Senate was playing out its carnival, the world dumped a dose of reality on them. Like someone said, NEMA ought to double the watch on her warehouse till all the donated rice comes in. One month’s donation of their humongous, world record salaries and emoluments will probably keep Kogi State, not just the civil servants, with rice for the rest of the year. Not their time – they could not be bothered to raise a fact-finding mission to Kogi. It shows just how much they think the average Nigerian is worth. The wonder of wonders is, distinguished senators believed him and began the charade of donating rice with tears dropping out of one eye or both. He knelt before them, raised his hands to heaven and swore that Somalia is better than Kogi under Yahaya Bello. This time, they have escorted him into the blind alley of declaring Kogi State an Internally Displaced Persons Zone.
