The publication by a national newspaper alleging that the governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, has backed out of presidential bid has been debunked and described as a "fear-driven" outing by the opponents of the governor.

Reacting to the trending story titled "2023: Yahaya Bello Dumps Presidential Bid, Lobbies APC Leaders For VP Slot," published about 6 hours ago, a political group, Bello Ambassadors Network (BAN) championing the taking over of the national leadership by the youth through Yahaya Bello and the major group urging the Kogi State governor to declare his interest in the 2023 presidential election said the governor is yet to answer the calls by the Nigerian youths and has not declared his interest.

The body disclosed that it was in talks with individuals close to the governor and that nothing related to dumping presidential ambition has been perceived.

It noted that it's mischievous to say that the governor who has not even declared his interest to contest for the presidency would dump such ambition. Adding that such speculations could be orchestrated by fears created by the towering name of the governor.

The national Cordinator of the Bello Ambassadors Network, Anthony Edogbo urged Nigerians to stay calmed and be committed to the actualization of the youthful presidency come 2023.

It also said the body and several other groups are still urging governor Bello to declare his interest in the top political seat in the country.

Daily Independent in the purported report of the Yahaha Bello giving on contesting for the presidential election, said, "a serving Commissioner in Kogi State, who is a close ally to the governor, said the governor has toned down his presidential ambition “given a strong feeling that the APC might pick its presidential candidate from the South”.

AS SECURITY SITUATION IN JOS DETERIORATES, GOVERNOR YAHAYA BELLO MOVES SWIFTLY TO EVACUATE KOGI STUDENTS TO SAFETY

The newscaster can then reference that letter from the school management noting that an unspecified number of students and staff of the institution have already fallen victim which makes the action of the Kogi State Governor both timely and life-saving. Unnamed University sources have also called on other state governments and the security agencies to show similar concerns for the innocent students caught in the crossfire during this particular orgy of violence – another in a long list of such which periodically affect Plateau State,and unfortunately the Unijos community. The leadership of the nation is also called upon to not only be proactive but to find a lasting solution for insecurity as we approach 2023.

Kogi state Governor, Yahaya Bello in his efforts have evacuated both indigenes and even non Kogites from the institution

I have been directed by the Chief of Staff to the Governor of Kogi State, Pharm. ABDULKAREEM Mohammed Jamiu (Asuku) to advise the General public particularly all lovers of progress on the following:

- That on no occasion or for whatever reason(s) should anybody respond to malicious or insulting statements from detractors on his person or office, either physically or virtually whether from a known individual(s) or an unknown source.

- The Office of the Chief of Staff is preoccupied with the umflagging commitment to the achievement of "Kogi Project" which is all about the delivery of people-oriented projects that will form legacies for His Excellency, Alh. Yahaya Bello to stand the test of seasons and time.
For this reason, we will pay no heed to hecklers.

- The proverbial saying that " he who carries a jar of oil, shies away from the carrier of firewood" is true for the government as sure steps are taken to avoid unnecessary fracas that can only lead to distraction.
Hence, the need to always ignore and avoid disparagers.

- His Excellency, Alh. Yahaya Bello is ever determined and focused in achieving his set goals of executing and completing projects that will stand Kogi state out in the comity of states and as such his Chief of Staff is working assiduously to help ensure the accomplishment of these all important tasks and cannot be distracted.

- We urge all to remain iron-cast focused on Project GYB2PYB. The way to achieve this is promote the person and projects of our Leader, Alh. Yahaya Bello. By so doing, we are simply telling Nigerians our Principal has an Indomitable political credentials to lead our nation into prosperity. That should be our one and only focus for now. At the right time everyone will answer his or her father's name.

- On assumption of Office, the Chief of Staff proceeded on reconciliation visits to mend the broken fences between patriotic Kogites and the administration of Governor Yahaya Bello as directed and supported by His Excellency. We cannot afford to revert to such inglorious era. Anyone who knows Governor Yahaya Bello will attest to his excellent upbringing, respect for all, fairness and a genuine commitment to the unity of our dear state. He is respected today for this indelible virtues.

- It is clear, that those who worked woefully, mentoring and cheering people in their errors, and those that have been hellbent on misrepresenting and giving ill-twisted views about Gov. Yahaya Bello in recent past are back online.
During the first tenure, they were tirelessly scornful to important and respectable people via their social media handles (of course that's the only place they majorly exist).
Despite their falsehoods and antagonistic smear campaigns maliciously calculated to undermine our boss' goodwill during the last election, his Excellency still emerged victorious against all odds.
However, we shall remain resolute and pay no attention to their venomous intents, but we advise that progressive minds should be wary of them despite the fact that their malicious activities are not in anyway a clog in our progress wheel. We are committed to the developmental agenda of the entire State.
Today, Lokoja is adjudged to be the second fastest growing city in Nigeria to the glory of God. More of this is what we are working hard to achieve under GYB.

- Finally, Kogi State is for all of us, while constructive criticism and well-intentioned advice are welcome, we will also be quick to jettison any ill-will that will not be beneficial to Kogi State and her people.

Thank you and God bless you all as you abide by these directives.

Abubakar Y. Mujahid (Glassman)
Special Assistant To Chief of Staff.

Elvictor:


Yeye Bello on the beat.

How long Lokoja has been a city? Is it not capital of Kogi again?

If it is still growing that means... Is alright.

gbegemaster:
Many of you endorsing Bello have not been home in ages.

Most of you have never been to Kogi state.
