Governor Bello was in the company of the Speaker, Kogi State House of Assembly, a few other Honourable Members of the House, Honourable Commissioners and other top government functionaries.
’ The President thanked the Governor for his support and his leadership qualities. He told the Governor that he is observing rest and will return very soon to continue his assignment of providing purposeful leadership for the nation.
We urge all Kogites to remain steadfast and believe in the policies of the New Direction administration to rebound our State from decades of failure. Your Governor will continue to make you proud.
‘’The past week has seen the Executive Governor of Kogi State performing the role of a national leader who has brought the picture of Kogi State to the national view. An unusual State Executive Council meeting was held on Wednesday March 1, 2017, as meeting commenced at exactly 7am. The Governor arrived his office that day at exactly 6:30am.
It was one of the most successful EXCO meetings by the New Direction administration. ‘’Immediately after the EXCO Meeting on that day, national limelight shifted to Kogi State as thousands of Muslim and Christian faithful joined the Governor to pray for President Muhammadu Buhari and the nation as a whole.
The Governor urged the Muslims to always pray for their leaders as Allah has directed , saying their prayers are required for peace, harmony and prosperity. The Governor later turned up in Katsina where he condoled with the Emir of Katsina over the demise of his mother.
He also visited Daura, the home of Mr. President to applaud the Emir for their consistent prayer and support for President Buhari. Governor Yahaya Bello later attended the Presentation of Staff of Office to the Tor Tiv, where he was given a rousing welcome by the Benue people who see Governor Bello as a son of the soil having distinguished himself during his working days with the Benue Office of the RMAFC. Benue is second home to Bello.’’
