The Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, has said that ‘patriotic Nigerians’ cannot wait to return President Muhammadu Buhari to power in 2019.
He made this known in an interview with selected international media organisations on Saturday.
Bello, a staunch supporter of the president, said that the eagerness was borne out of a genuine desire to deepen good governance and transparency in the country.
Buhari, he said, has been able to set the country on the path of economic growth despite “deep stealing by the previous administrations in the country”.
Bello added, “As far as we know, Nigerians are happy and satisfied with the performance of Mr. President.
“He is an honest man who is trusted by the international community to take Nigeria to the promise land and will therefore be re-elected next year by the masses of this great nation.

“It is unfortunate that the opposition was doing everything to bring the nation down to justify their desperation to return to power.
“When a child defecates on a chair, it is expected that the chair will be cleaned and allowed to dry before the child can sit on it again.
“The Nigerian system is undergoing serious cleansing process and Mr President should be allowed to conclude his Nigerian rebirth Agenda.
“Those who love Nigeria and the strides of Mr President want him to continue the rebuilding process. Our nation was a subject of international scorn for corruption and insensitivity to the plight of the masses. Today, the respect is back because of the personality of Mr President.
“Our economy is looking up and it is trickling down to the states. Kogi State has keyed into the agricultural policies of the Federal Government to create more jobs and wealth. Our youth and vibrant populace now see a career in agriculture.
“The Federal Government has been very supportive of our war against criminality in the state; the same way the war against insurgency has been waged with serious mindedness.
“Nigerians surely do no want the gains of this administration reversed”.
Speaking on the crisis plaguing the National Assembly, Bello appealed to Nigerians to vote, in 2019, equally patriotic lawmakers that will support and enhance the president’s vision for the nation.
