As the country is awash with presidential declarations ahead of the 2023 general elections, the ‘Hope 23 GYB Campaign Organisation’ and other well-spirited Nigerians have rated Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State above other presidential aspirants.
The Director General, of and. the Hope 23 GYB Campaign Organizations, Senator Zwingana and former Minister for Aviation, Fani Kayode have told Nigerians that Governor Yayaha Bello (GYB) is the best amongst all the presidential aspirants in All Progressive Party and the opposition parties.
Zwingana in his special remark at the 2nd GYB Seminar held recently in Abuja, said , ‘Yahaya Bello is not only the most pragmatic and practical governor in Nigeria, but that he is the most focused and very clear about his targets”
Fani Kayode in his own contribution averred that Yahaya Bello secured his state for other states to enjoy peaceful thoroughfare. ‘With most of the States in Nigeria experiencing insecurity, Kogi Sate as the gateway to the west, east and south-south of Nigeria, Yahaya Bello has remained serious for a secured thoroughfare to the states of these three geopolitical destinations.
“Looking at his historic security records of managing the state adequately, it is very outstanding.’ He said.
The former Minister further stated that, ‘I am not in doubt that GYB is adequately prepared to tackle and subdue the growing insecurity across the country as the President of Nigeria, his administrative records in Kogi state and the security architecture he designed to guard against any form of security breach in the state, can be replicated at national level as an elected President’.
However, the Senate president, Sen. Ahmed Lawan, had earlier during one of his visits to kogi state, described Governor Yahaya Bello ‘as the shield of APC, Nigeria and beyond.’ While Yakubu Okala, of the Diplomat online, described Gov. Yahaya Bello as a pace setter, prudent, disciplined and has personal principles of accountability.
Also, the President of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) Christopher Isiguzo, said Yahaya Bello’s friendly gestures to the Nigerian journalists, was a clear demonstration that the Union will enjoy his tenure as President.
Isiguzo expressed the gratitude of the Union to the Governor for keeping his promise to host the 2nd GYB Seminar. Correspondents, Editors and participants at the seminar agreed that Yahaya Bello is no doubt the modern David, that will fall the Goliaths in APC and Nigeria in general, in view of his youthful disposition, come 2023 general elections
