Governor of Kogi state, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, has described President Muhammadu Buhari as “an African icon who is a nightmare to corruption.” Bello, who spoke in Lokoja through a statement signed by his Director-General on Media and Publicity, Kingsley Fanwo, said the President was adored around the world “for his vision and commitment to the greatness of Nigeria.” He said: “Nigeria was almost a globally blacklisted state due to institutionalised corruption until the advent of the man who world leaders respect as the antidote for corruption come on the stage to reverse the trend. Let me thank Nigerians for standing fi rmly with the man who has restored their hopes.
Nigerians prayed fervently for the recovery of Mr. President and their prayers have been answered. “With the return of Mr. President, we are reassured that good governance will continue to be the lot of our nation. Th e Acting President has displayed competence, loyalty and patriotism throughout his stint. It is a testimony that our party is a gourd of great leaders.” Th e governor, therefore, urged Nigerians to continue support the change initiative of the federal government, insisting that “Nigeria is better than it was two years ago.” “We are witnessing a transition from a badly damaged economy to recovery.
We are seen how gradually, the federal government is rebuilding the economy of our great nation. Economic growth is gradually becoming visible. Nigeria will continue to witness progress.”
