Governor-Elect, Yahaya Bello

Naij.com has picked 5 things from the interview you need to read.

Controversy over his deputy

I have maintained this position, which I would still maintain that as at the time of the vacancy of the governorship position, I was chosen and as at that time, there was a deputy governorship candidate as running mate. I am concerned about myself then as the governorship candidate and now the governor-elect. The party can better explain the position of deputy.

Relationship with James Faleke

We speak regularly. Honorable James Faleke and myself are good friends. We maintain our friendship and the relationship is a wonderful one.

Godfather?

“Almighty Allah,” he said.

Youngest governor in Nigeria, what will set him aside from others?

Performance! By the grace of God I would have no reason not to perform excellently. I will break the record of even our president, His Excellency, Muhammadu Buhari. After four years, Kogi state will never be the same again. Expectations are high, and we know there are challenges out there, but we are going to move in aggressively to ensure we do well.

I will equally urge the youth to come on board, give us ideas to harmonize with ours so that we can build the state of our dream.

Abandon projects

Our leader, Abubakar Audu, may his soul rest in peace, was the first governor of our dear state and was as well as the second executive governor of the state. His developmental landmarks are still there. One way we can show appreciation for what he stood for is to ensure that his dreams come true by ensuring that we marry together almost all the developmental programmes he had and then embark on actualizing them aggressively. The state would be good for it.

Meanwhile,  James Faleke, Bello’s purported deputy, declared that he would not be available for swearing in with Bello on January 27.

Faleke had, upon the death of his principal, Prince Abubakar Audu, written to the INEC asking them to declare him as winner of the polls, despite the INEC having initially declared the poll as inconclusive.
