Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State, on Saturday, said that he has no political ambition for now but to help President Bola Tinubu to succeed.
Responding to a question about his next move after governorship, being one of the major presidential aspirants during the presidential primary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, the governor pointed out that all Nigerians would have succeeded if President Tinubu succeeds.
Bello spoke at an interactive session with journalists at the 3rd Annual GYB Seminar for Nigeria’s Political & Crime Correspondents/Editors on Saturday in Abuja.
He said: “I thank God for my successes and achievements as governor of Kogi. I know where I met the state and I am happy for where I have taken the state to.
“I believe that the APC candidate, Usman Ododo, will build on the solid foundation we have laid down for Kogi.”
According to him, the November Kogi governorship election will be a landslide victory for the APC.
Reacting to a question on ensuring that all members remained in the APC fold in the state, Bello said that the APC remained solid in Kogi.
“Our unity is why APC wins in Kogi and will continue to win. Our party is one. You cannot satisfy everyone.
“However, there are internal mechanisms in the APC to resolve issues and we always utilised that,” he noted.
Earlier in a paper titled: “Unity in Multi-Ethnic, Multi-Religious Society, the Kogi Story” the state’s Commissioner for Information, Mr Kingsley Fanwo, said any candidate campaigning on the basis of ethnic sentiments, is incompetent.
