2023: Yahya Bello To Win Kogi For APC With Large Margin – Campaign Council
The Kogi Campaign Council said on Sunday that Yahaya Bello, the state’s governor, will overwhelmingly support the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the general elections of 2023.
The pledge was made in a statement released in Lokoja by Kingsley Fanwo, director of media and publicity for the State Council.
Bola Tinubu’s track record of achievement in the public and commercial sectors, he said,
“he will win Kogi convincingly alongside all of our senatorial, house of representatives and the house of assembly candidates who are busy campaigning hard across the state.
“Although the party’s agenda for the 2023 general elections is to win well, a new record will be set with an unprecedented margin.”
He said that after the party’s electoral triumph, Mr. Bello and other party leaders met with stakeholders.
“What we are doing now is activating our lawful winning strategies,” he said. “We did it In 2019 by massively voting for President Muhammadu Buhari and also won all the senatorial seats and seven of the nine houses of representatives seats before we lost one of the seats at the tribunal.”
As a result of the APC winning all 25 seats up for election, Kogi has a one-party house of assembly for the first time in its political history, according to Mr. Fanwo, the state’s commissioner for information.
“In fact, in 2023, Bello will show why he remains the political tactician that is trusted by the Kogi people.
“It is a thing of joy that the state government has promised to ensure Kogi remains peaceful during the elections
“By God’s grace, the state security architecture will make it impossible for desperate politicians to import violence into the state.
“We will campaign on the strength of what we have been able to achieve and the hope for a stronger and better Nigeria”, he promised further.
The campaign council director, however, urged all political leaders and members to continue campaigning peacefully as the party’s candidates could win in a free and fair atmosphere.
