As the race to find who replaces President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023 continues, lawmakers in the Kogi State House of Assembly have urged Governor Yahaya to contest for the position.
During its plenary session on Wednesday, December 1, the house said their decision for the endorsement was borne out of the outstanding performances of the Governor in the state.
Abdullahi Bello, Majority Leader of the House while moving the motion said, “Yahaya Bello by his creative governance style has somehow engineered a reversal of several negative national development indicators in Kogi State. Examples abound everywhere.

“Under his watch, Kogi State has been transformed from been known as kidnap capital of Nigeria outside the embattled North-east, into a polity where the abduction of humans for ransom, along with other violent crimes like armed robbery have become mere opportunistic aberrations.
“The Right Honourable Speaker and Honourable Members of the Kogi State House of Assembly upon due deliberation of proper motion, therefore, do hereby unanimously make and pass a vote of confidence on his excellency, Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State.”
“This solemn call is first and foremost premised upon and borne of our belief that the subject, Yahaya Bello, is a fit and proper person, with the right mix of youth, experience, and track record to answer – same firmly and decisively in 2023 and beyond.”
According to the lawmakers, the North Central Zone has not had a shot at the Presidency and Governor Bello is the right peg to lead the nation.
