A political group, Igbo Women Forum, has said it will mobilise at least 25 million votes for Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi in the 2023 Presidential election.

The group stated this in a statement by its president Uju Obi on Sunday in Abuja.

She said to achieve this, the group would be holding “a mother of all rallies in Abuja”, to declare their support for Mr Bello.

While extolling the virtues of the governor, Mrs Obi said that among his priority is Nigeria’s unity and security.

“Bello has shown the capacity to quell the rising tide of terrorism, kidnapping, and other criminal vices across the nation.

“Another trait that stands out for the Kogi governor is his national appeal as he is loved by most Nigerians – irrespective of religion, tribe, and ethnicity.

“This isn’t surprising, as Bello has carried everyone along in his government, not minding the usual sentiments,” Mrs Obi said.

Earlier this year, women from Nigeria’s 19 northern states endorsed Mr Bello to run for president in 2023.

The group, under the aegis Yahaya Bello Network (YBN), declared their support when they visited Mr Bello at the Kogi Governor’s Lodge, in Abuja.
