The recent criticism from the Kogi APC Renaissance Forum regarding Alhaji Yahaya Bello’s appointment to the 2025 Osun State Governorship Primary Election committee has sparked a significant reaction. As we delve into the details, it’s essential to acknowledge that His Excellency Alhaji Yahaya Bello’s appointment is a testament to his dedication to the APC and his commitment to the democratic process.
It’s crucial to remember that Alhaji Yahaya Bello is innocent until proven guilty. The EFCC’s allegations are currently being addressed in court, and it’s essential to respect the judicial process. The fact that he’s facing trial doesn’t necessarily imply guilt, and it’s vital to allow the courts to determine the outcome.
The Kogi APC Renaissance Forum’s criticism raises questions about their understanding of party loyalty and commitment. Alhaji Yahaya Bello has consistently demonstrated his dedication to the APC, and his appointment is a recognition of his efforts. It’s essential to recognize and appreciate the contributions of loyal party members, rather than undermining their efforts.
The criticism surrounding Alhaji Yahaya Bello’s appointment can be seen as a diversion from the real issues facing the APC and Nigeria. The focus should be on strengthening the party, promoting unity, and addressing the pressing issues affecting the nation. By engaging in petty squabbles and mudslinging, we risk losing sight of our priorities.
We urge all APC members and supporters to rally behind Alhaji Yahaya Bello and the party’s leadership. Let’s work together to build a stronger, more united party that can effectively tackle the challenges facing Nigeria. We must reject the politics of division and negativity, embracing instead a culture of inclusivity, respect, and cooperation.
It’s worth noting that Alhaji Yahaya Bello’s tenure as Governor of Kogi State was marked by significant achievements and development projects. His commitment to the people of Kogi State and his dedication to public service are undeniable. The allegations against him should be considered in the context of his overall record and the many contributions he’s made to the state and the nation.
We urge the Kogi APC Renaissance Forum to reconsider their stance and join forces with the rest of the party to promote unity and progress. Let’s focus on building a stronger APC, rather than tearing each other down. The people of Nigeria deserve better.
In conclusion, Alhaji Yahaya Bello’s appointment is a positive step towards strengthening the APC and promoting democracy. We must support his efforts and work towards a more united and prosperous Nigeria.
