Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello has come under heavy criticism for flexing with Ayra Starr’s new music amidst flooding in his state.
The Press Nigeria reports that over 500 houses submerged after an overflow from nearby River Niger which surged through the roads leaving many displaced with properties worth millions destroyed in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital.
The governor, however, has been accused of acting unperturbed with the difficulties faced by many of the affected Kogi citizens after he shared a video of himself boarding his convoy whilst vibing to Ayra Starr’s new music, Rush on Twitter.
He shared the video with the caption; ‘About Yesterday, cc Ayra Starr’s’

One of the displeased Nigerians who called the governor out, is John Samuel, who wrote; ”that’s your business sir.. Show off as you like… For me this was my “about yesterday” experience in Lokoja Kogi State capital. For now you guy should be ashamed of the situation instead of of being power drunk and having little or no sympathy for those having terrible time”
Another one MrObiDatti1wrote; ‘‘Oga governor reach out to Ibaji people… They are your people and the flood is no longer news. They are suffering. Please act as the father your are called… This people fought for you during the election with their lives….. Do the needful sir.”
