On Friday, Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State told Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress’s presidential candidate, that the brief lecture he gave him had taught him a lot.
Bello said this when Tinubu paid him a visit in Abuja, just 72 hours after the former Lagos State governor was announced as the APC’s presidential candidate for 2023.
He also announced that he had disbanded his Presidential Campaign Council and that the building would be donated to Tinubu’s campaign.
Remember that during the APC’s presidential primary election in Abuja on Wednesday, Tinubu defeated Bello, Rotimi Amaechi, and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, among others.
Bello said, “Today, I have collapsed my Presidential Campaign Organisation. I’m 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.”
Bello noted that the primary election had come and gone and promised to lead the youth to campaign for Tinubu to ensure that APC would win convincingly.
“Never again will the PDP lead this country. Thank you, all my colleague governors, for giving me the opportunity to learn from you.
“Senator Abdullahi Adamu (APC national chairman) has never lost an election and we will win the 2023 election. Our convention went well and peacefully,” Bello added.
Tinubu was accompanied on the visit by three governors —Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos), Abdullahi Ganduje (Kano) and Bello Matawalle (Zamfara).
A former Governor of Edo State and ex-APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, was also at the meeting.
