If Men Were God: The Governor Yahaya Bello Example »

By: Oladele John Nihi

Sometimes I wonder if men were God what would have happened to us ALL. I’m sure there won’t be anything call us on earth. But thank God Almighty, men are not God.

I see some of us already taking the place of God Almighty, I mean those declaring who is a winner or who can win and those who cannot win come 2023 Presidential Election. Make una calm down, men are not God.

Alhaji Yahaya Bello, the Executive Governor of Kogi State is a child of destiny. We have some people created in such a way by God Almighty like that. In fact, there are many examples in the Holy Book like King David. It does not matter how you view such people, it doesn’t even matter their capacity or ability, such people operate under special grace of God.

In 2015, many Kogites especially the political gladiators never see Alhaji Yahaya Bello as an aspirant much less a threat. But through divine arrangement, he became Governor of Kogi State and currently serving his 2nd term. Today, go to Kogi State, ask people who live in Kogi State or Google it on your phone, I make bold to say:
👉🏽 No Governor in Nigeria has made countless people they refer to as a ‘nobody’ somebody like him.
👉🏽 No Governor has given priority to women in Politics (both in appointment and support for Elective Positions) like him.
👉🏽 I’m sure we all know Kogi State is a YOUTH STATE. No Governor has Supported youths for Elective Positions and dedicated over 85% of his appointment to YOUTHS like him.

There are other achievements in Security, Ethnic/Religious unity, etc. Before you ask me of infrastructural Development in Kogi State, there are many with pictorial evidence but you will agree with me that the MOST pressing need/problem of our country Nigeria right now is safety & unity of Nigeria(ns). There are roads and infrastructures in Northeast and other parts of the North but insecurity has made it almost impossible to use them. There are to a reasonable extent, economic growth in the southeast and other parts of the South but that has not stopped agitation for self-determination.

What our country Nigeria is in dare need of right now is someone that will unite & make our nation safe again. above all, a young president that will dedicate at least 85% of his appointments to youths/women. Search no further, we have seen and found this person – He is Alhaji Yahaya Bello, Executive Governor of Kogi State. He is the unifier with an unprecedented track record of youths/women involvement in governance.

Finally, like I stated earlier, this aspiration may seems impossible to many NOW. It may even be seen as joke taken too far but one thing you should not forget is, God is the same yesterday , today and forever. The same God Almighty that changed his name from Alhaji Yahaya Bello to Governor Yahaya Bello is alive to further change his name to President Yahaya Bello.
