Abubakar Sani Bello, governor of Niger, says he would
appoint Kayode Fayemi, Ekiti state governor, as President Muhammadu Buhari’s
successor if he has his way.
The Niger governor said Fayemi, a presidential hopeful of
the All Progressives Congress (APC), can always count on his support.
Femi Ige, spokesperson of the Fayemi Campaign Organisation,
quoted the Niger governor as saying this on Sunday when he hosted the Ekiti
governor.
“You have been here at least three or four times before now.
You have been a close friend to Niger state. It is not now that there is a need
for support that people are coming,” he said.
“Only five or six
people have been to the state but you can count on my support. If you become
president, I will relax because I know I will have easy access to you.
“In fact, if I have my way I will appoint you as the next
president after President Muhammadu Buhari.”
Earlier, Fayemi said he is ready to be president of the
country, adding that he could remake Nigeria without unmaking it.
The presidential hopeful said the visits to APC delegates
across the country have differentiated the pretenders from the contenders.
“This is a season of visits and states keep receiving us.
The list of presidential aspirants says there are 23 but only five of us are going
around the country. With this, you can separate the pretenders from the
contenders,” he said.
“I am ready for the job. I want you to take a bet on me and
you will have no cause to regret.
“I can remake Nigeria without unmaking it. I believe in
Project Nigeria and that Nigeria is worth fighting for and together we can
regain the lost glory of Nigeria.
“Many Nigerians have
lost faith in project Nigeria. We will find a way to restore their confidence,
trust and confidence in Project Nigeria. I am passionate about Project Nigeria
and I will ensure it works.”
He said if elected president, he would address the challenges surrounding power and industrialisation.
