Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State said under the stewardship of President Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria is better than some developed countries.
“You have done so well in terms of infrastructure and our economy. You inherited it when there were recessions and challenges across the world,” he told Buhari.

“Today in Nigeria, we are better than so many countries, including developed ones. It is under this wonderful APC, that you gave women, people and youth living with disabilities a chance to have a voice and belong.
“You have done it from 2015 to 2019, and from 2019 till date – you are going to hand over to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu so he can continue to replicate what he did in Lagos and what Alhaji Shettima did in Borno State across this country.”
Bello said as the youth coordinator in the APC presidential council, he would mobilise the youths across the country to vote for Bola Tinubu, the party’s standard bearer.
Meanwhile, supporters of the party, who were in high spirits filled the over 40,000-capacity stadium as security agents had a hectic time maintaining order. Those who could not gain entrance filled the adjoining streets causing gridlock in many parts of the city.
The event was briefly interrupted as security operatives, who had a hard time controlling the crowd, resorted to flogging the people with horse whips, forcing the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Idris Wase to appeal for a stop.
After the situation was brought under control, Senator Remi Tinubu in the company of Hajia Nana Shettima and other women in the party assured women and youths that they would be carried along in governance, if Tinubu is elected.
