Gov.Yahaya Bello of Kogi , a leading presidential aspirant on the platform of the APC possesses all attributes that can retain the presidency for the ruling party in 2023, the Yahaya Bello Presidential Campaign Organisation has said.
While noting that, of the pool of presidential aspirants, Bello was the APC’s best bet, the Director, Media and Publicity of the Campaign Organisation, Dr Yemi Kolapo, said the well experienced and accomplished leaders of the party would not sacrifice Bello’s winning attributes for “destructive” politics.
She said this in a statement she signed and made available to journalists on Friday.
According to her, the party, in its wisdom, knows that, after eight years, it must present that candidate that can win the next election, considering the “we against them” attitude of citizens in many countries to the government of the day, which usually makes retaining power, under a free and fair environment, difficult.
Highlighting the attributes that distinguished Bello as the candidate to beat, the media directorate said aside from Bello’s plethora of obvious achievements in Kogi, he enjoyed the massive support of Nigerian women and youths, which must not be ignored, considering their numerical strength.
His uncommon loyalty to the President, his colleagues, and allies, among others, as well as his clean records as regards the issue of betrayal of any form, among others, were some of the attributes listed in his favour.
“The stage is almost set for Nigerians to, once again, choose the leaders that will steer the affairs of the nation at all levels for another four years. But before the general elections, the struggle is within the parties, and in that regard, many have put their hats in the ring.
“The presidential race in APC is populated by known heavyweights in Nigeria’s politics, and in the next few weeks, depending on what the party decides, all aspirants that have had the courage to declare so far and those still preparing to do so, will have to jostle for just one ticket.
