Following the meeting of former President Olusegun Obasanjo with the Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello, the GYB2PYB Youth Support Group has commended the former for backing his words with action.
Recall the former President on Sunday, February 28, commended the Kogi Governor over his efforts in ensuring security, good governance, and infrastructural development in the State.
Reacting to the positive development on Monday, the Director-General of GYB2PYB, Oladele John Nihi on behalf of the group and Nigerian Youths, thanked former President Obasanjo for rejuvenating the confidence the nation currently have in the Kogi State Governor.
He further described the meeting as timely and a confirmation that former President Obasanjo cares for the nation’s stability.
Emphasizing the groundbreaking achievements of governor Bello, in terms of security, Obasanjo stated the fact that the fight against insecurity should have everybody on board, stressing that governors should involve everyone to ensure insecurity is curtailed in the country.
“Obasanjo is one of the few Nigeria former leaders with the interest of the youths at heart. We are not surprised to see him coming out openly to acknowledge the good works of Governor Yahaya Bello.
“He did it because he is a progressive leader that wants the country to move forward against all odds. I knew this when I personally met with Baba for the first time in 2019, at his Ota country home,” Nihi said.
President Obasanjo during the closed-door meeting, urged governor Bello to continue his fight against criminality, thanking the Governor for his outstanding role in youth/women involvement in governance.
“We believe Governor Yahaya Bello will keep doing his possible best, to safeguard the lives and livelihood of all Nigerians,” he said.
