Since the registration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2013 to her first National Congress and 2015 General Election where the party secure victory over the incumbent People Democratic Party (PDP) at the centre and in few states, up till this very moment, His Excellency, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, Executive Governor of Kogi State has remained a loyal and committed party man.

After his divine victory as executive governor of Kogi State in 2016, one can say without doubt that GYB remain one of the major pillar and tool for delivering victory to APC in many APC control states today. He commits everything at his disposal to securing victory for APC in many states previously govern by PDP now APC control states.

Even when he did not get 30% support from his colleagues during his second term election as governor of Kogi State, many of whom he did everything for their victory as governor of their states where elections were conducted between 2016-2019, Governor Yahaya Bello was never discouraged nor deterred, he remain even more committed than ever before to APC.

Governor Yahaya Bello is always at the forefront of APC activities. When there are crisis in the party at the National, GYB will be seen in the forefront of restoring peace and harmony to the party. He is always willing to sacrifice for the growth and progress of APC.

Before the APC Presidential Primary Election, it was obvious Governor Yahaya Bello, was not just the most talked about in the race due to his wider acceptability across the country particularly among the youths, women and people living with disabilities, he was indeed the star boy of the APC Presidential Primary.

Despite the conspiracy, betrayal and outright wickedness from party leaders, colleague governors and party members he has served, supported, helped and fought for, GYB was the first to accept the result of the APC Presidential Primary and even went ahead to donate his campaign office to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, winner and Presidential candidate of APC. He also went ahead to collapse all his campaign structures across to country to that of Tinubu and immediately took over the youth directorate of the APC Presidential Campaign.

As at today, of all those who contested the Presidential ticket with Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Governor Yahaya Bello is the most Visible, Committed and Dedicated working hard to make sure APC win the Presidential Election, control majority States and win majority seats in the National Assembly.

No doubt, Governor Yahaya Bello, Executive Governor of Kogi State is a Star Boy, Truly Loyal and Committed Party Man.
