Yahaya Bello, the governor of Kogi state, has said that he is prepared to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari as the country’s leader in 2023.
Bello claimed his successes in Kogi state are wanted at the national level during an Arise TV interview on Monday.
Bello claims that he is opposed to a rotating presidency.
Bello went on to say that the person best suited to unite Nigerians should be the one to lead.
He claimed that Nigerians are “yearning” for him to become president because of his performance as governor of Kogi in the last six years.
“Almost six years down the line, Kogi is united more than ever before. Now come to 2023, what I have been able to achieve in Kogi state is desired at national level which I’m sure you know we are living in a global village which whatever you do even in your bedroom is noticed out there,” Bello said.
“If Nigerians across board; youth, women, leaders and followers seeing my leadership style, uniting the people, bringing in experts, adding value to governance, prudent and sincere way and manner of utilisation of our resources and getting the results, balancing the equation which is most desired in the country today, if this multitude is yearning and calling me to come and serve this great nation in the year 2023 after president Muhammadu Buhari, I will say, yes I’m ready.”
When asked why he can’t wait till the end of his second term as governor in 2024 to run for president, Bello answered the national interest trumps his and the Kogi people’s.
“Serving Nigeria in that greater capacity will serve the interest of the people of Kogi state, Nigerians, Africa and even black race than I remaining the executive governor of Kogi state,” he said
“By the grace of God when I would have [been] sworn in as the president and commander-in-chief taking over from Buhari on May 29, 2023, Nigeria will have a heave of relief.”
