The Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, has stated that it is time for Nigerians to go for the very best Candidate for the 2023 Presidency, as the next general elections gradually approach,
Briefing Journalists after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari, on Thursday, at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, in Abuja, Governor Bello said that the position of President should now be determined by sincerity and competence, and no longer by rotation.
Recall, that Governor Yahaya Bello had earlier said that he may contest in the 2023 Presidential election, claiming that Nigerians have been calling him to serve.
His words: “For once let us get Nigeria fixed. We have practiced a seeming rotational Presidency since 1999 to date, let us evaluate our successes or achievements from this seeming rotational Presidency between then and now.
“Why do we not simply go for the best, after all, we copy this democracy from America and some of the developed world, how many of these countries are practicing rotational Presidency? You see, we are where we are today not because we are practicing rotational Presidency. If you want to go by that rotational Presidency, then do perfect zoning. Go by perfect rotation. And if you go by rotation and whichever way you come from, I do not think you should exclude where I come from. That is number one.
“Number two, let us get a credible, sincere, patriotic Nigerian to fix it.”
