ALL EYES ON YAHAYA BELLO PRESIDENCY 2023

 

In 2019 there were predictions of victory for Governor Yahaya Bello in his bid for the second term by pragmatists but many Doubting Thomases told them to cast their “ifa” into the deepest Sea.

The predictions were not from political Octopus, but ordinary media scholars with ‘notoriety’ for accurate prediction of election outcomes in Nigeria, for local, State to national levels. It had nothing to bear with personal interests or avowed affiliations. It only had to do with objective consideration of variable and possible outcomes. Like foot ball Octopus, the prophecy pronouncement was as prophetic as those of Isaiah and Ezekiel.

This time around, Bello is closer to coasting to the presidency in 2023 than any other contender.

Gov. Bello has overtime assumed a nationalistic political figure among the committee of Governors. His name rings like a bell in Nigeria, perhaps for of his policies, stances and statements: he banned ASUU in Kogi State University and became popular for “wrong reason” but it was that wrong reason that ensured steady and uninterrupted academic programs for the students

His Excellency said “we got no COVID” and thereafter subjected the NCDC falsehood official from Abuja to true test of their own protocols. The said Officials turned back abruptly the order of the Governor with the belief that the Governor was endangering the lives and residents of Kogi people. Now it is obvious that Gov. Yahaya Bello was right and sincere with his people.

 

Governor Yahaya Bello while flashed back to the agony, pains, hunger and hardship Nigerian were subjected to during the lockdown, stood firm, advocated and mobilized against any form or attempt of any second lockdown not only in Kogi State but entire Nigeria. While other governors and other political office holders in the country are yawning and snoring in their deep sleeps and slumbers, Governor Yahaya Bello is awaken and on his solution drawing board for Kogi state and Nigeria.

 A gawk into Kogi State cabinet and other Political offices, it will shock you to discover that there are more women and youths in Political appointments than men. Are you surprise to hear that all local government vice chairmen in the state are  women across the 22 local governments. exhilarating further here is that, all Local Government secretaries are young youths leaders in their local area. No imposition, tribalism or nepotism in Kogi State today.

Gov. Bello has surpasses his contemporaries in Nigeria history in women involvement in politics and governance. He has female SSG, female ADC, female HOS, female Provost, female VC, female STETCOM Chairperson, female CPS. The list is not exhaustive. Bello is coasting to victory with reserved supports from women across the country.

The Kogi State Governor has reputation for enforcing the Federal Character Principle in all critical appointments. There is no organization, institution or MDA in Kogi State where all key positions are not shared among the three senatorial districts. The Governor is undoubtedly has backings of career workers across board.

The Magic Governor Bello is president-bound for many irrevocable arguments. He has proved to the whole world that he has solution to the problem of insecurity in Nigeria. As far as Governor Bello is concerned, the issue of insecurity in Nigeria is a work-over. Some sincere but confused governors in Nigeria shaded off their egos and ran to Lokoja to consult the WHITE LION OF NIGERIA.

The searchlights for the anointed head to tackle insecurity in Nigeria are beaming on the head of the WHITE LION. Even the likes of Boko Haram, ISWAP, kidnappers, Bandits and killer herdsmen dares not the dreaded WHITE LION – maybe they have respect for the names YAHAYA ADOZA BELLO.

Educational development in Kogi is mind blowing. A trip to Osara, the Confluence University of Science and technology, College of Medicine, Kogi State University, College of Health Sciences and Techology, Idah, just to mention but a few, shows that the Governor is highly committed to education and future of the people of Kogi State and Nigeria.

 

Infrastructural development in Kogi today is second to none. The Governor approved and released funds for renovations and constructions of facilities across the three senatorial districts within the State. These includes the Ganaja junction fly-over at the State capital, Idah-Ejule Road and Okene township Roads. Massive renovations of general hospitals across the state, with state – of – the – arts facilities. These are just a fractions of the Governor’ strides during the second term

Apart from the national wind of demands for Gov. Yahaya Bello to contest, our group – BELLO NORTH CENTRAL YOUTHS SOPPORT GROUP (BENCYSG) have  hereby endorsed Yahaya Adoza Bello for president 2023 and vow to purchase his nomination form  for the purpose of quality and youthful inclusion of youths and women in the democratic participation of the country 

Fundamentally, the regionalism and zoning system favours Governor Yahaya Bello more than any other contender. He comes from the region (the North Central) that has never produced president or vice president or even tested the seat of Power in Nigeria be it military or civilian governments

We youths from North Central have already sent our pre-action notice to His Excellency Gov Adoza Bello to inform him  that, in an event  he dare succumb to any pressure to withdraw (God forbid) from the race, North Central Youths will ask our team of lawyers to sue him to court because he is the only Presidential candidate that is capable of delivering the desired change to Nigerians and uniting the country for progress owing to his track records as a the most youngest governor in Nigeria

  

We remain resolute and firm to massively mobilize Youths and all eligible voters in the North Central region and beyond for His Excellecy, Governor Yahaya Bello presidency, 2023
