2019 Pesidency: Kogi Gov., Yahaya Bello Speaks on Buhari Re-election Bid

Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello has pledged to support President Muhammadu Buhari for second term.

President Buhari had yesterday, during the National Executive Council meeting of the APC, made known his intention to seek reelection. 

Bello, in a statement signed by his Director General of Media and Publicity, Mr Kingsley Fanwo assured Buhari of giving him more votes than the state did in 2015.

The statement read, “I am a staunch supporter of Mr President and I am proud to be associated with such a great leader and personality.

“We thank Mr President for listening to the voices of Nigerians who are satisfied with his performance. Kogi people were the first to organize rallies in different towns and cities to call on Mr President to seek re-election.

“As the leader of the state, I wish to assure Mr. President that my people are solidly behind his policies of economic recovery, security and the fight against corruption. Kogi will deliver to Mr President, more votes than the state gave in 2015.

“We are going to focus on the economic recovery of our state and ensure more people are empowered to become productive. That has been the mainstay of our economic policies as a government.

“President Muhammadu Buhari has not lost his magic touch. He is a trusted leader who the masses want as their President beyond 2019. But it is also instructive for us to know that corruption will begin to fight back with renewed vigor to stop the march of the masses. We shall triumph.

“The position of Mr President in Party congresses is a welcome development. When a trusted leader speaks, followers believe him and toe the line of wisdom. We must be united against people who know they have come to their political dead ends.

“Today’s declaration of Mr President for second term has further reinvigorated our belief that he will continue to make sacrifices for the greatness of our nation”.
