Hafsat Abiola-Costello, director-general of the Yahaya Bello
Campaign Organisation, says she chose the Kogi governor over presidential
hopefuls in the south-west because he has the good qualities of a leader
Nigeria needs in 2023.
Speaking on Monday while addressing journalists in Lagos
ahead of the presidential primary election of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), Hafsat said she has seen in Bello true commitment to the progress of the
country.
According to her, Bello will be victorious at the primary
election notwithstanding the strength of other politicians in the race.
She described the governor as a loyal and respectful person
who would carry 0everyone along if elected president.
“This is a man who met a debt profile of about N135 billion
in Kogi when he assumed office in 2016, but has been able to reduce it to about
N70 billion,” she said.
“This is an addition to his huge investments in education,
agriculture, security and infrastructural developments. The World Bank
accountability ranking of states in Nigeria evaluated Kogi as second in 2017,
1st in 2018 and 2019.
“The draft report for 2021 shows that Kogi scored 100 per
cent in all the areas and from indications, the state will maintain the first
position in 2021, judging from the draft report that was released just
yesterday.
“I am proud of GYB
because of his development records in Kogi. This is a governor that is always
looking for progress and the development of lives of his people. This is me, a
Yoruba, supporting someone from north central.
“There is no progress without demands. I lost my both
parents, though unfortunately, because Nigerians believed in them. I’ve been
working with GYB for a while and I have seen that he has the courage and
intelligence to deliver Nigeria.”
She said as one of the foremost presidential aspirants of
the party, Bello has reached out to party stakeholders in nearly all parts of
the country, and he stands a better chance to clinch the party’s ticket.
“Going into the presidential primaries, we are on a good
footing. If you plant a good seed very early, you will reap better than those
who plant late,” she noted.
