Governor Yahaya Bello has worked with women and youth to expand the opportunities of our dear state. We want him to replicate this at the centre.Our leader also has great respect for elders too. That was why he institutionalized the Elders Advisory Council in the State to create a platform for elders to advise the young drivers of the economy of Kogi State.Even those aspiring to be President already know that GYB is the man to beat because of his reputation in Healthcare, Agriculture, Education, Infrastructural Development, Youth and Women inclusiveness, unity, security and many other areas.We are very optimistic that he will listen to us and declare for the 2023 Presidency because Nigeria needs him.
