Guber poll: Kogi citizens in Ekiti declare support for Yahaya Bello

by

Sequel to the preparation for the November governorship election in Kogi State, Kogi natives resident in Ekiti State have thrown their weight behind Governor Yahaya Bello in his second term ambition.

The Kogi indigenes, under the auspices of ‘Kogi Youths in Ekiti’, said they are drumming up support for Bello to save the state from sliding into recession caused by political instability and policy somersault that has held the Confluence State down since its creation in 1991.

The group, comprising the three major ethnic groups;  Ebira, Igala and Okun, noted that the second term of the youthful Governor Bello would afford him the opportunity to complete his legacy projects across the state.

Bello has been facing stiff opposition from Mohammed, the son of the late Governor Abubakar Audu, and some powerful political gladiators in the state.

In a statement in Ado Ekiti on Thursday and signed by its President, Mr.  Nasir Suleiman, the group described Bello as the face of the Nigerian youth in governance, saying “one good term of Yahaya Bello deserves another”.

Suleiman further said that the incumbent governor had shown exemplary leadership in spite of the paucity of funds and tension in the land, adding that he had made tremendous impacts in his first term in office in the areas of road construction, quality healthcare system, youth and women empowerment, among others.
