According to the State Security Adviser, the administration of Governor Bello in Kogi State has witnessed unprecedented development with introduction of people oriented policies and programmes as well as uniting the ethnic groups in the State.
He noted that the acceptability of the Governor by the young generation as well as other well meaning Nigerians from across the Geopolitical Zones shows that he has created a new Political ideology that is imperative for national peace and Development which he noted is appealing to the people.
“Haven watched the antecedents of political development of Governor Yahaya Bello from his emergence and milestone in recent national space, it is very clear that his focus has been on people and development. Commander Omodara stated.
“We are already looking at Governor Bello as someone we refer to as a Nationalist rather than just a State Governor. The best people that can project this are the followers, the followers must begin to close rank and align with His Excellency’s ideology for the National assignment.” Omodara said.
The State Security Adviser further noted that “Governor Yahaya Bello is already creating a political ideology which we his followers must begin to see that we are already having another person in the national landscape to provide the template for political emancipation. When we think of great political ideologies, it is not that they brought it from heaven but they provided space and direction for people to follow and align with, that is where we have the ideology of communists.”
He enjoined numerous supporters of the Kogi Governor to be more united towards achieving the dream of becoming the next President of Nigeria in the 2023 general elections.

Yahaya Bello has made Kogi State safe”.
Chief Onoja added that “it is only a selfless person as Omodara that would go into the jungle at odd hours to be able to ensure that the people of Kogi State have peace and can sleep with their two eyes closed. He is also a great manager of people and relationship.”
