Governor Bello, who was represented by his Deputy, Edward Onoja, said the unequaled performance of his administration as the youngest has given credence to Nigerians to support him massively.
The Deputy Governor told the visiting Aspirant that Kogi State has been and remain an APC State, promising that the APC will win the 2023 election landslide.
He however announced that in Kogi State, loyalty to the leader of the party is not in doubt and therefore the delegates are awaiting directives from him before and during the Convention.
Earlier, in his speech, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi, has advised the Kogi state Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, to thread softly in his quest to achieve his ambition especially at his exorbirant stage of which some have earlier passed through with records of achievement.
Amaechi disclosed that he was Speaker Rivers state House of Assembly at the age of 32 years and later became Governor at the 40 for eight years.
