The Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, on Friday, pledged his support for the presidential ambition of the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, saying he would mobilise youths to ensure Tinubu’s victory in 2023.
Bello made the pledge when Tinubu paid him a visit in Kogi, about 72 hours after Tinubu’s emergence as the APC presidential flag-bearer.
Tinubu had, in his remarks, commended Bello, who also contested the APC presidential ticket but lost out, for his outing at the primary.

Describing Bello as his son, Tinubu said the Kogi governor “reminded us of what the nation wants to be,” adding that Bello deserved commendation for “mobilising the consciousness of the youths in the country.”
Tinubu was accompanied on the visit by Governors Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos); Bello Matawalle (Zamfara);and Abdullahi Ganduje (Kano).
A former governor of Edo State and former national chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole, was also at the meeting where Bello announced the collapse of his Presidential Campaign Council and announced the donation of the secretariat to Tinubu.
Bello said, “Today, I have collapsed my President Campaign Organisation. I am donating my campaign organisation secretariat to you. I’ve learnt a lot from the little lecture you gave to us. What elders see when they’re in the valley, the younger ones won’t see it.
