Kogi state governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello has reiterated his support for the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari, saying the anti-corruption exponent remained the best option for a “stable and united Nigeria”.
The governor, who disclosed this in Lokoja yesterday through his spokesman, Kingsley Fanwo, said the President has “unfinished business with Nigeria”.
According to him, “Nigeria has witnessed tremendous development under President Buhari. We are moving away from the crazy search for white collar jobs to have created over six million blue collar jobs less than three years into the first term of the Buhari administration. Our mining policies are now opening new vistas for prosperity and Nigeria is becoming more united than ever.
“The federal government is embarking on massive road construction and rehabilitation projects, rural electrification is also receiving a boost. When you see the progress we have made and still making in rail transport, you will agree with the pro-Buhari agitators that the president needs to continue his good work beyond 2019.”
Bello said the country was in a delicate transition from an era of unbridled corruption to an era of transparency and accountability, noting that Nigeria needs to consolidate the gains recorded in the past 30 months
“APC has come to stay in Kogi state. 2019 will clear the doubts of those who think they can eat their cake and have it back. From Anyigba to Kabba, Isanlu and Okene, our people have shown where they belong.
“Politics is played at the grassroots. Those who want political powers should come to the people. We are here with the people, meeting their aspirations and catering for their needs,” he said.
