“It is not the critics who count, Not the Man who points out how the strong man stumbles. In real life, honour, reward and recognition belongs to the man whose face is marred by sweet and dust. The man who constantly strives and toil to better the lots of his fellow mankind is really man of honour and destiny and not the Critic’’ – NELSON MANDELA
Roll out the red carpet, let the drums and cannon roar, bring in the Laurels and golden accolades. Click the crystal glass, in obvious well deserved celebration and honour of Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello, a rising star, a man of destiny and by the exceeding and amazing grace of God Almighty the 4th democratically elected Executive Governor of Kogi State who turned 41 years today.
Who is this quintessential star, a man of uncommon destiny, what is is pedigree and traits of his early childhood? Born on 18th June, 1975 in Agasa Okene Local Government Area of Kogi State to a humble but enterprising family of Alhaji Bello Ipemida Ochi and Hajiya Bello Oziohu in the the ancient metropolitan city of Okene. The lad Bello as a child prodigy started out early in life consciously choosing the noble path of diligence, hardworking and resolute determination to succeed in life. As a schoolboy in his quest for knowledge, young Bello showed and manifested early traits and signs of sharp intellect and proven leadership qualities, when as a toddler pupil in primary (2) he was made the class Monitor, he held the position of a class monitor until he was appointed the school head boy in class six; apparently because of his manifest leadership qualities.
After the completion of primary school education in 1989, young Bello enrolled for a collage at Agasa Community Secondary School Anyava Okene. His quest for qualitative education saw him changing schools until he finally settled for Government Secondary Suleja in Niger State where he came out In flying colours in his Senior Secondary Certificate Exams in 1994.
As a young man with a burning heat for higher education, he enrolled for his A Level Exams at the Kaduna Polytechnic in 1995 and 1996 he proceeded to the Prestigious Ahmadu Bello University to study Accounting. He graduated in 1999. Still not resting on his oars, he went back to Ahmadu Bello University Zaria and obtained a Master degree in Business Administration in 2004. With his masters degree, the ambitious and forward looking young Bello also enrolled for a professional certificate with the Association of National Accountants of Nigeria at Jos to become a Chattered fellow of ANAN.
Bello’s working career started in 2001 when he was posted to the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission for his mandatory National Youth Service. While serving there as a corps member, he distinguished himself exceptionally hardworking, resourceful and dedicated. His workaholic traits and commitment to duty earned him an uncommon favour and was offered appointment in the same place he did his primary assignment as Revenue Officer II. Apparently because of his dexterity and dedication to duty, he was singled out for promotion to the rank of Accountant within a short period. Again because of his competence and glaring potentials, he was later transferred to Makurdi Zonal Office to the Account Department. He rose steadily to the position of Assistant Chief Accountant until he voluntarily resigned his appointment to harness his potentials and professional skills in the uncertain terrain of the private sector. Through sheer and prudent husbandry of his hard earned resources, young Bello invested in Stock Trading Business and luck smiled at him with a financial break through shortly before the crash in the stock market business.
Apart from his passion and drive for Business, Bello has a moral burden for the poor and the less privileged. He is a highly committed public spirited philanthropist and currently funds three orphanage homes, in addition to his sponsorship of the education of hundreds of Kogi State undergraduates in various institutions of higher learning.
He came second pooling the second highest vote after late Prince Abubakar Audu. Following the sudden death of Prince Abubakar Audu fate and destiny brought in the young Yahaya Bello as the 4th democratically elected Governor of Kogi State. The story of the emergence of Bello, a multi talented young man in the prime of his youth as the governor of Kogi State is an eloquent testimony of a man entrusted by destiny and the unmistaken hand of God to salvage his people and generation at a critical and agonizing moment of the people’s quest for development and true happiness.
