The Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello has disclosed that governors serving on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, are insisting that President Muhammadu Buhari should seek re-election in 2019 due to his performance.

He stated this while addressing State House Correspondents at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

Bello said, “‎There are three things. One, he has done excellently well, secondly on fighting corruption.

“Even we among the governors are competing among ourselves to ensure that the little resources available, we utilize for the people, so corruption is reduced to the barest minimum.

“Next is the revival of the economy, job creation and making sure that average Nigerians are comfortable. Based on these performance, we are urging Mr. President to please run and fly in 2019. So, there is nothing more to that.

“And if you look at it critically, the governors themselves who naturally have immunity, we are very careful because you know that Mr. President is incorruptible, if you do, you are going to face the consequences. So, we are careful about that.

“You see among ourselves, we are competing among the states to see who does more unlike the previous regime. So we want Mr. President to continue to lead the way so that we can follow and Nigerians will have the dividends of democracy.”

Recall that Buhari, who had met with the governors on Thursday night, had asked to be given more time to allow him decide on whether or not to seek a second term.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
