Ododo says GYB is perfect fit as Buhari’s worthy successor
A staunch supporter of the GYB2PYB agenda
Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo has alluded to
President Muhammadu Buhari’s assertion that the next president of Nigeria should be someone who can secure the country as an endorsement for Governor Yahaya Bello to succeed him.
Ododo while referring to the statement by President Buhari who spoke during a working visit to Maiduguri the Borno State capital, said it fits into the aspiration of Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi state to become the next president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
He stated this in Lokoja the Kogi state capital on Wednesday.
He noted that the monumental achievement of the Kogi state government under Bello in securing lives and property in the state is a clear demonstration of the mastery of both kinetic and non-kinetic instruments of national security by the Governor.
Ododo who described Bello as the best person for the job noting that it is only natural that GYB would replicate the same string of successes recorded in the provision of infrastructure and security in all parts of Kogi state at the national level when elected the President of Nigeria in 2023.
While commending President Buhari for the renewed efforts in the military offensive against bandits and insurgents across the country, he called on Nigerians to support the presidential aspiration of Governor Bello whom he said is the only man ready to throw his hat in the ring to address current security challenges and infrastructural development in the country.
This he said has been demonstrated through several projects like the construction of Ganaja flyover, Okene Reference Hospital and other health institutions across the state as well as road networks in the nooks and crannies of the state and security interventions one of which is the recent arrest of all 25 armed robbery suspects who attacked a bank in Egbe, Yagba West Local Government Area of the state.
Ododo who expressed delight over the position of President Buhari on the expectation of his successor urged Nigerians to vote for a presidential aspirant who has demonstrated the capacity to secure Nigeria in view of the strategic importance of security in national development.
He urged Nigerian youths to take up the challenge of securing the country by working for the realization of the presidential ambition of Bello come 2023.
