He stressed that Onoja has contributed so much to national development and Kogi in particular as a good ambassador of Nigerian youth as he represents the younger generation

“Since the governor has been tested, trusted and has just another four years to spend in office, it is wiser for the people of the state to vote for him instead of another experiment with another Governorship candidate.

“One good term deserves another. Bello/Onoja candidacy is a welcome development. It is good for the state, women, young people, workers should vote for them because I believe he will perform very very well.

“Another 4 years of Yahaya Bello will bring about consolidation of landmark achievements and greater youth empowerment and youth involvement in decision making progress,” he said.
