A former lawmaker representing Kogi West in the National Assembly, Senator Smart Adeyemi, has called for more support for Governor Yahaya Bello’s second term aspiration.
He made the call in Lokoja on Thursday during a meeting with the delegation from the Progressive Governors Forum.
Adeyemi stated that Governor Bello has performed well and deserve to be re-elected for a second term in office.
The former Nigeria Union of Journalist President said the political destiny of the Western Senatorial district lies in the return of the governor.
According to him, for fairness, justice and equity, Gov Bello is the best for the APC in November.
“Other senatorial districts have ruled Kogi State for two terms. Now a brother from Kogi central, who has done very well in his first tenure; should also be given another opportunity.
“If Gov. Bello is given the opportunity to lead us for another four years, I am convinced that we in the West will rule Kogi State.
“I am using this medium to beg our party leaders not to make the mistake of allowing one to change a winning team in Kogi State. Those who say APC cannot win Kogi under Bello are not God, because he is covenant child. If Governor Bello is denied the APC ticket, some of us might be forced to work against the party,” he said.
The Progressive Governors Forum, led by Governors Atiku Bangudu and Balla Muni of Kebbi and Yobe states, were in attendance.
