Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, has collapsed his Presidential Campaign Council and donation of the building to the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He made the announcement when Tinubu alongside three Governors: Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos); Bello Matawalle (Zamfara); and Abdullahi Ganduje (Kano) visited him in Lokoja on Friday.
A former governor of Edo State and former national chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole, was also present in the meeting.
Bello said, “Today, I have collapsed my President Campaign Organization. I am donating my campaign organisation secretariat to you. I’ve learnt a lot from the little lecture you gave to us. What elders see when they’re in the valley, the younger ones won’t see it.
“The exercise (convention/primaries) has come and gone. I will be on the streets to lead the youths to ensure that we win convincingly. Never again will PDP lead this country. Thank you all my colleague governors for giving me the opportunity to learn from you.
“Senator Abdullahi Adamu (APC National Chairman) has never lost election and we will win the 2023 election. Our convention went well and peacefully.”
The former Lagos State governor said he was very proud of the Director-General of Yahaya Bello Presidential Campaign Organisation, Hafsat Abiola-Costello, saying the joy in the country was on her father, “MKO Abiola in who June 12 became public holiday.”
He explained that it was in the house of Kudirat Abiola (Hafsat’s mother) that he found the cap with which he disguised to flee from Nigeria, saying, “I’m happy to be back to save Nigeria.”
