The Executive Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello has declared his ambition to contest for presidency in the incoming 2023 elections.
Yahaya made his intentions known at the Eagles Square in Abuja as he joins the list of other aspirants like Atiku, Osinbajo, Peter Obi, Wike, Dele Momodu, and Tinubu.
During his speech, The governor promised to enrich 20million Nigerians by making them millionaires to tackle the increased rate of poverty in Nigeria.
In his words, he said;
“In 2018, with APC in the saddle that figure has dropped to about 87m people yet Nigeria overtook India as the poverty capital of the world. Just this month, Nigeria through the effort of the President relinquished the title back to India and brought down the figure to about 70m people.
“It is therefore clear that our path to national prosperity lies in pulling millions of Nigeria out of poverty.
“The Buhari administration has a target of lifting 100 million Nigerians out of poverty by the year 2030. A Yahaya Bello presidency will have an additional target of creating 20 million naira millionaires by the same year 2030 with the aim that each of them will empower five other citizens.”
