Governor Yahaya Bello on Sunday began the Tinubu-Shettima presidential campaign in Anyingba, Kogi East.

The governor, who described APC as a strong united family in Kogi, assured of an outstanding outing at the February 25 and March 11 elections in Kogi.

The rally in Anyigba saw the governor receive scores of estranged APC members returning to the party.

Mr Bello said the attendance at the Kogi East rally alone, was a testimony that “APC is one and united family ready to sweep the votes for Tinubu-Shettina presidency in the state.”

Presenting the APC flags to the candidates in Kogi East, the Kogi governor reiterated that the party’s presidential flag bearer Bola Tinubu, and his running mate Kashim Shettima as the right choice for Kogi electorates.

“Today, we are declaring to the world that Kogi APC is committed to coming up with the highest percentage amongst the entire 36 states for the presidential, senatorial, house of rep and state assembly elections,” stated Mr Bello. “It’s in the records that In 2019, you did deliver 100 per cent because you are trustworthy people and I believe this time around, similar feat will be repeated across board.”

He added, “Of course, such results will give Kogi a vintage advantage to demand for certain dividends from the central government after its emergence.”

The governor urged party supporters to reach out to their families, friends and associates to vote again for the ruling APC for outright victory.
