A political support group, Niger Delta Coalition for Governor Bello 2023 (NDCGB 2023), has urged the Kogi state governor, Yahaya Bello, to declare his interest to run for the presidency in 2023.

In the recent months, a number of support groups, hitherto unknown, have been touting the presidential aspiration of Mr Bello.

Political jobbers from KanoNorth-Central and also among acclaimed Christian youths are a few who have openly declared support for the Kogi governor.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, the president of NDCGB 2023, Sambo Temple, said that the call became necessary considering the glaring democratic potentials of Governor Bello to salvage the country from the doldrums.

“Nigerians are clamouring to have Governor Bello as our next president considering his giant strides in Kogi State, which he will replicate if given the mandate to serve Nigeria. 

“We’re in dire need of a stable and virile Nigeria and Governor Bello serves as the only rallying point in launching Nigeria back to greatness,” it said.
