I will fix Nigeria within 365 days as President — Yahaya Bello
By Matthew Eloyi
Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has said that it won’t take him more than 365 days to fix Nigeria if elected as President in the 2023 election.
He stated this while speaking on the theme “Media in Times of Crises: Resolving Conflict and Achieving Consensus” at the 17th Nigeria Guild of Editor’s Conference in Abuja on Friday.
In his words, “It won’t take more than 365 days to fix issues of insecurity, corruption, mismanagement among others in the country.
“From what I have come to realize and know, it takes a decisive, courageous, self-minded and balanced leader to be able to fix this country once and for all. And to get this done requires the collaboration and understanding of the media to educate, sensitize and teach our people on the choice of the next leader.”
According to him, the right leader shall emerge where the Igbos, Yorubas, Hausas among others will feel the real impact of leadership.
“I believe that we have those leaders in abundance in this country. I believe it only takes the eagle eye and sharp pen to bring those leaders,” he added.
He commended the organizers for choosing the topic, allowing them to share their experiences and proffer solutions on the way forward noting that insecurity issues in Nigeria are local and it is peculiar.
He stressed that Kogi State neighbouring 10 states out of the 36 states is managing the security of the state and also assisting her neighbours to manage theirs.
The Governor emphasized that if others would sincerely apply the same security mechanism as he did, states would achieve the kind of security safety and cohesion required in the country.
