Kogi State Governor, Alh.Yahaya Bello, has said Nigerians are resolute in their support for President Muhammadu Buhari.
In a message to the Change Forum, an APC advocacy group through his Director General on Media and Publicity, Kingsley Fanwo, the Governor said the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari has given credibility to the image of the nation in the eye of the world.
“Nigeria has won international respect because of the integrity of Mr. President. The effect of such goodwill is improved global interest in the development of Nigeria. Those working against the President are people who are jittery over his anti-corruption crusade.
“The people of Nigeria are solidly behind the President because they have been at the receiving end of the corrupt past. Nigeria will bounce out of the current recession as we are already witnessing signs of survival.
“Kogi is leading the way towards agricultural renaissance and the Kampe Omi Dam Irrigation Farming will be one of the drivers that will rebound our economy as we are poised to become the food basket of the nation.
“Those peddling rumours about the health of Mr. President are unfair to the African culture. The President explicitly told the whole world he went on medical vacation. We are all humans and are vulnerable to ill-health. The President will soon come back stronger and ready to continue his developmental strides for the nation.”
Governor Bello urged Nigerians to imbibe the habit of praying for their leaders rather than wishing them dead, saying every leader is ordained by God for a purpose.
He said the nation and, indeed, the African continent will continue to benefit from the progressive leadership of Mr. President as exemplified in the leadership role of President Muhammadu Buhari in resolving the political logjam in the Gambia.
“As a Nigerian, I am proud of Mr. President’s exploits in the areas of enthroning trust and stability in our polity. The Conditional Cash Transfer initiative and NPower have helped to empower our youth and women. I am confident Nigerians will appreciate what this government will do in the next three years.”
