Ahead of the 2023 Presidency, Nigeria’s youngest sworn-in Governor, Yahaya Bello of Kogi State is said to be under pressure to run.
Bello who is serving his second term as Governor was sworn for his first tenure in 2015 at the age of 40.
The Commissioner for Information and Communications, Kingsley Femi Fanwo announced today that many Nigerians are calling on the Governor to come help Nigeria.
He told journalists that “The people are calling on him to run for President but he has not come out clearly to tell us whether he is accepting that clarion call or not.
“All over the 6 geopolitical zones, we are having a lot of people calling on him to come run.
“If you look at the people calling on him, it cuts across all parties and is not just an APC thing.
On reason for the clarion call Femi Fanwo said the Yahaya Bello “is a unifier. He is very capable and qualified. He perfectly fits into the bracket of what Nigeria wants.
Speaking to Channels TV earlier in the month, Bello said that…
Fanwo added that Yahaya Bello “has shown that the youth can provide quality leadership in Nigeria.
Listing what he considers s a few of Bello’s achievements, the Information Commissioner said that “In Kogi, we have diverse ethnic groups which were not unified.
“There was the challenge of insecurity and under-development but he came in 2016 and was able to unite the state.
“When you look at the economy, he has been able to inject a lot of dynamism into the economic management of the state and we are also looking into agriculture.
“When you look at the challenges of Nigeria like the lack of unity, insecurity, economic diversification, he has the answer to them.
Speaking further on the reasons Nigerians desperately need Governor Bello to run for the 2023 presidency, his Commissioner tweeted that:
Sadly, Nigerians do not seem to corroborate the Commissioners claims going by responses to his claims:
@Iam_ChisomLuckyยท “I will rather campaign with my hard earned money for MC Oluomo as Nigerian president than Yahaya Bello“
Chuba Ugwu@Chonsyy “In this year of Our Lord 2020, Yahaya Bello took a long hard look at Nigeria, shifted his gaze to Buhari for a few minutes, and then whispered to himself: “Why not? Everything that could possibly go wrong has gone wrong”.
Khalifah@zykson “Walahi “Boda Femi” don craze Las Las because of lie… he was a choir master before, singing praises to God before but now he’s a property of Yahaya Bello“
