Kogi State Governor, Yahaya
Bello, on Friday declared that he is losing no sleep over winning his
reelection in November.
According to him, he will easily
win the election with wide margin.
He spoke with State House
correspondents after meeting President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential
Villa, Abuja.
He said “I am the Governor today
and Insha Allah, l will return back as the Governor for another four years,
after the November 16 election.
“As for the ticket, the analogy
is that the tenant cannot send the landlord out of his house. So, APC in Kogi
state was rebuilt by me, after the good job done by our late leader, His
Excellency, Prince Abubakar Audu.
“After his demise, l came,
rebuilt it from the scratch to what it is today. That is evident in the last
outing of the party where we had 25/25, in the State House of Assembly.
“We also won 7 out of the 9
contested positions in the House of Representatives and two out of the three
Senators representing Kogi state in the Senate.
“So, anybody that is making such
noise, does not disturb me, because, in the market place, noise is allowed. You
know, in Kogi politics is the loudest, so people must make noise and you can’t
stop that.
“But surely, l am very good with my party from
the local government to the national level. They know that l am the leader of
the party in my state. I have built it and it is very strong. Anytime, any day,
we will win elections in landslide.
“That l am going to win in the
primaries is given by the grace of God, by whichever means, direct or
indirect,” he said
The governor added “Secondly, in
the November Governorship election, we are not just talking of winning, we are
looking at the margins. The margin is going to be such that whoever comes far
second, will be discouraged to go to court.”
On the significance of
declaration of June 12 as Nigeria’s Democracy Day, he said that Nigerians
cannot thank President Buhari enough for the masterstroke of recognizing an
icon synonymous with democracy, the late Chief MKO Abiola.
He said “I think something would
have been wrong if he had not done this. For effectively doing it well, we
can’t thank him enough. It is so significant for us and the future generation
to know that this man paid the supreme price for the democracy we are enjoying
today.
“We continue to pray for him to
do more for the country. He has blazed the trail. It’s significance for politics
and politicians
“It politics, we have to be real
we are in this politics to serve. Chief MKO Abiola was out to serve us. He was
denied. President Muhammadu Buhari is serving us and he has also recognized the
man who paid the supreme sacrifice and what this means is that we must remain
real and have the interest of the masses at heart and serve them to the best of
our ability.” he said
On what Nigerians should expect
from the party as it is now heading the National Assembly leadership, he said
that programs and projects will now be quickly and easily implemented.
He said “You are going to see
government at ease in the next level. Programs, projects and every policies of
government, you are going to see them implemented with ease unlike what we saw
in the eight National Assembly.
“You can see now that the
atmosphere is very calm and everybody is happy. It shows that APC got it right
this time around. So, kudos to Mr. President, leadership of our great party and
leadership of the National Assembly and all the members of the National
Assembly.” he said
