Bello advises FG to apply local solutions to national problems

Kogi Governor Yahaya Bello has advocated that the Federal Government should apply “local solutions’’ in tackling major national challenges, including insecurity and economic issues.

Bello gave the advice on Tuesday in Abuja when he received a delegation of Nollywood actors, who came to pledge their support to him in his plan to run for the nation’s presidency in 2023.

He said that his administration had been able to achieve success in every sector by applying “a mixture of local solutions, knowledge and human-based solutions to tackle challenges’’.

Bello said that his administration had taken cognizance of the fact what would endure was a knowledge-based economy rather than a resource-based economy.

He emphasised the need for Nigeria to develop human and knowledge-based resources, through inclusion of youths in governance.

The governor lauded Nollywood actors for their contributions in the creative industry, which he said, had increasingly contributed to Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product, employment, youth empowerment and showcasing Nigeria to the world.

“Let me appreciate all of you for the wonderful contributions and for presenting Nigeria to the world, showcasing our rich culture, our unity in diversity and all the good things about Nigeria and Africa.

“I appreciate you for identifying with me on our modest achievements in Kogi State.

“Kogi State, prior to Jan. 27, 2016 when I was sworn in as the fourth Executive Governor used to be a state that was divided among herself, a long ethnic line, religious line, class line and several other types of criminality used to be the order of the day.

“But by the special grace of God, by our leadership style and the touch of quality of the young men and women I was able to assemble, the reverse is the case today in Kogi State.

“Let me appreciate you for urging me to run for the position of president in 2023.

“Kogi State will soon be an oil producing state. It would be celebrated but oil has been the greatest undoing of Nigeria.

“What will last longer than our generation is knowledge-based economy, not resource-based economy.

“There are some of you that did not read arts at tertiary levels, just raw talents and you learnt on the job.

“That is why in Kogi State, we believe in our own local solutions to our own problems. We do not import solutions.

“If we say there is problem coming, we want to see it first, evaluate it, know how it would enter our own territory then apply our own solution to solve the problem.

“That is what we should apply to our problems in Nigeria.

“In Kogi State, we apply the mix of our local solutions and that is how we have solved our problems of insecurity. We have applied our own local solutions and we are developing our infrastructure.

“We have been able to discover that we have solid minerals and we are establishing a university, which is coming up this year. The university will be second to none in Nigeria. It is where we are going to develop our knowledge.

Bello said that another strategy the state had used was women inclusion in governance, explaining that women always played critical roles in peace building.

He also advised youths to key into the opportunities offered by the present administration, pleading with them to join the All Progressives Congress.

“We applied our local knowledge when a certain ailment came in and we simply said we did not want any alien to come in. We are living healthy, we are good.

“This is our leadership style, we are proactive. Can we replicate this in Nigeria, the answer is yes, is it possible, the answer is yes.

“If you are urging me to run for president in 2023, I will simply listen to you and I will throw it back to you because me as a person, I have contributed my own quota, I am still contributing my own quota.”

The leader of the delegation, Mr Seun Oloketuyi, commended Bello for his efforts in promoting youth inclusion in governance, saying that the inclusion was what the country needed.

Oloketuyi pledged the support of Nollywood to Bello in his bid to become president.

“Nollywood is the second largest employer of labour today in Nigeria. We believe that ahead of the 2023 elections, Nollywood has a great role to play as most of the actors have huge followers, making them influential in whatever they say.

“Going into 2023, Nollywood actors have said they will not just sit down and fold their hands; they will sensitize their followers on voting for a youth as president in the person of Gov. Yahaya Bello,” Oloketuyi said.

In his remarks, Dr Segun Okeowo, Director-General of the Best of Nollywood (BON) presented a notification of interest to Bello, seeking Kogi to host the 13th edition of the BON award in November this year.

Weyrey dey disguise for 2023.

Weyrey did not apply local solutions to make Kogi better, na now weyrey dey wake up.

Presidency or president

This Man is making sense

What will last longer than our generation is knowledge-based economy, not resource-based economy.

The baba is vying to be the next presido of this country. Dirty politics.

His political advisers are doing a very great job. They are helping him to change the wrong perception people had about him, and it's working already.

That's how he deceived kogi people and now he's their governor. They say charity begins at home, What local solution has he offered kogi state?

Trust this guy at your own peril. He is only campaigning for his presidential ambition. Someone whose state is in shambles.

Before you think of supporting GYB for president, go ask the people of Kogi state how far. If not, God will deny you heaven on the last day for that singular act of voting a wicked man in power.

>
Nigeria has fallen so much that this slowpoke is actually trying to run for president...
One can only presume that he figured if Jubril from Sudan can do it, pretty much anyone can. SMH

What solution is he applying to his state where workers are still being owe months of salaries, with criminals he spearheaded and underdevelopment every where? Nonesense.

Weyrey dey disguise for 2023.

You can say that again...and some gullible people are already buying this charade; praising and tipping him to be a good president. I mean, based on which scorecard exactly? If he can't steer the affairs of Kogi positively, how will he be able to lead a delicate and crumbling Nigeria?

Next election will determine if I will give up on Nigeria patapata...the country can't afford to get it wrong again, if not, d road to redemption might have been closed forever.

You dey mind the fool of a governor. He knows many nigerians are dumb. Our leaders always make a mockery of us in this country because they know many are too dumb to think and remember their evil rule in their various post of assignment.

I remember a Corp member in 2018 telling me that he stays in Abuja and only comes back to his state once in a month or when there is spacial occasion

Wisejohnson47:
This Man is making sense

Yes. To dunderheads like you. Why couldn't he make sense in the state where he is presently the governor?

What's local solution when in real sense if u restructure for a true federal system of govt the local areas should be better for it...

Resource base first, to solve nepotism, parasitism and control insecurity, before knowledge base which will then be left for individual states to decide. But that is first attempting the dissolution of this coven called Nigeria.
