The Kogi State House of Assembly took the advocacy campaign of Governor Yahaya Bello’s twenty-twenty-three Presidential Ambition to Sokoto State House of Assembly Lawmakers.

Its Speaker, Mathew Kolawole, who led other members of the House, said the visit is to speak with colleagues to support them in agitating for Bello to become the next President of Nigeria.

He noted that the gesture might be the first of its kind to see the legislative arm of a state assembly supporting and advocating for a serving governor to be President.

The Speaker added that Bello, being the youngest governor in the country, has fulfilled the full engagement of youth in governance.

“In the area of women empowerment, the governor has done beautifully well by ensuring that 35 per cent of the workforce are made up of women.

“Today as I am talking to you, all the vice-chairmen in Kogi state local government areas are women, and five women councillors in each of the LGA,” he said.

The Speaker added that Bello, being the youngest governor in the country, has fulfilled the full engagement of youth in governance.

“Today all the Secretaries of Kogi state LGAs are Youth between the ages of 19 and 23 years,” he said.

Kolawole further stated that all the bills passed by the state Assembly has been assented to by the governor, and these have generally supported the government to succeed in its aspiration.

He thanked the Sokoto State House of Assembly members for hosting them and appealed for their support towards the success of their advocacy.

The Speaker, Sokoto State House of Assembly, Aminu Achida, assured the visitors of their support for the best candidate to lead the country.
