Kogi Governorship: Asuku resigns as Bello’s Chief of Staff says I’m contesting to continue with my Boss achievements

by

Abdulkareem Asuku, the Chief of Staff to Governor Yahaya Bello, has resigned his position.

OBSERVERSTIMES recall that Asuku joined the race to replace his boss as the new governor of Kogi State.

Asuku officially declared his intention to run for the exalted seat when he led hundreds of his supporters to the national secretariat of the party last night in Abuja to pick up the N50 million nomination and expression of interest forms.

Bello’s CoS made the headlines in December 2021 when some unknown gunmen abducted his mother, Seriya Raji, from her residence at Inese/Ovakere New Layout in the same state.

Addressing newsmen after he procured his forms, Asuku showered encomium on his boss for encouraging young members of his cabinet to join the race to replace him.

The pharmacist-turned-politician expressed strong conviction that at 39, he is strong-willed, healthy and have the capacity to consolidate on the gains of Bello in the state.

He said, “I present myself to serve and consolidate the numerous achievements of his excellency Yahaya Bello.

“Youths are today in charge in Nigeria and that is why someone like me can come and pick a form to contest for governorship at the age of 39.
