Kogi SSAs Forum elicits Kwara JNI commitment to support Gov Bello for President in 2023
Efforts of Kogi State Forum of Senior Special Assistants to get entire Nigerians to support Governor Yahaya Bello as the country’s next President on Wednesday gained further momentum as the leadership of Kwara State Jamaatul Nasril Islam (JNI) gave it a nod.
This was the conclusion when Kwara JNI received the SSAs in Ilorin the Kwara State Capital.
Speaking for the Islamic group, former Kwara State Grand Khadi, Hon Justice Salihu Muhammad, who described Kogi as his second home in view of the long history he has with the state, said he had no doubt in the ability of the Kogi State Governor to clinch the position in 2023.
He said he understands that Governor Bello meant well for Nigeria just as he had been told by a cabinet member of the state before now, saying he had confidence the country would move forward and have many of its challenges addressed if he becomes the President.
According to the former Khadi, Governor Bello is a neat, articulate, serious and development oriented individual, who is young and not afraid to face problems headlong, saying the naton need a such a character to lead it.
He encouraged the Governor and his supporters to keep their heads above waters and not listen to distractions because many are also interested in leading Nigeria in 2023, saying it was necessary for him to keep his eyes on the ultimate price rather than listen to detractors.
“Tell him to keep up with the struggle. He should keep on doing good things and continue to be transparent, generous and prayerful because it is only through prayers that he can have his wishes met by the Almighty God,” the religious leader said.
He said the nation needs someone like Governor Bello to run its affairs, adding that his resume is a public knowledge and thus the need for his caliber to be given the opportunity to run the country.
Earlier, the Chairman of Forum of Senior Special Assistants in Kogi State, Hon Ismail Umar had told their host that the decision to bring the campaign to them was because it was an effort that requires the involvement of everybody from the North Central Geopolitical Zone of Nigeria, the Youth and those from the Kwararafa origin.
He said the Governor has given adequate support to religious groups within and outside Kogi State without discriminating between his Islamic Faith and adherents and those of other Faiths.
The posture, he noted, was required in the country to create a new, progressive and development oriented path for Nigeria.
