Kogi Governor Yahaya Bello is adamant he will succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
Speaking on Arise TV, he claimed that he had all the qualities to assume the presidential office. He said Nigerians would be relieved should he get elected.
“Now come to 2023, what I have been able to achieve in Kogi state is desired at national level which I’m sure you know we are living in a global village which whatever you do even in your bedroom is noticed out there,” Bello said.
“Serving Nigeria in that greater capacity will serve the interest of the people of Kogi state, Nigerians, Africa and even black race than I remaining the executive governor of Kogi state.
“By the grace of God when I would have [been] sworn in as the president and commander-in-chief taking over from Buhari on May 29, 2023, Nigeria will have a heave of relief.”
Bello asserted that he had built a united Kogi. A state that was previously plagued with conflicts among ethnic, religious, and tribal groups.
“When I assumed office in 2016, I inherited a state that was largely divided along ethnic, religious and tribal lines,” he continued.
“I inherited a state faced with a lot of crimes and criminal activities. I was faced with a state begging for leadership. I inherited a state that required the binding of youths, women and all-inclusive governance.
“But today, Kogi is more united than ever before.”
