Kogi State’s governor, Yahaya Bello, has said that he is confident that the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, will receive the necessary votes to win the upcoming election.
According to Bello, who is also the National Youth Coordinator for the Tinubu-Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, the former governor of Lagos State is the country’s next leader.
He made this announcement to reporters on Friday, January 13, 2023, immediately after emerging from a private meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the State House in Abuja.
According to reports on December 29, 2022, the Governor of Kogi State called the President to express gratitude for his support of various infrastructure projects throughout the state, some of which had been commissioned by the President himself.
About his position on the APC Campaign Council, Bello said, “Tinubu has already presented himself as a good product to Nigerians, that Nigerians will give him enough votes to emerge winner on February 25. I will joyfully escort him to the villa on May 29, 2023, by the special grace of God.”
Bello further bolstered Tinubu’s chances as the APC’s presidential candidate by saying he supports “21” Governors from the ruling party.
“He is a performer. He is a builder. He built human beings; he builds nations. And he has started telling us precisely what he is going to do. And his administration, by God’s grace, will be run more by the younger generation. And you know that the younger generation constitutes the quantum number of voters in this coming election.
“We are more enlightened. We know that Bola Ahmed Tinubu knows the road. And we are ready to follow that person who knows the road, Bola Ahmed Tinubu. And thank God that he is a candidate of President Muhammadu Buhari. And that is why you can see that President Muhammadu Buhari is already campaigning for him and will continue where he will stop. To continue to add to the value of what he has put on ground.
“So, the issue of any other person campaigning against him, I mean, you are only making him to be more popular. He is already a good product that has sold himself. He has distinguished himself and we are all 100% ready to vote Bola Ahmed Tinubu, come February 25, 2023. And we will joyfully escort him to the villa on May 29 2023 by the special grace of God. Jagaban is just a president in waiting by the special grace of God. Thank you very much.”
