​Governor Yahya Bello has announced that President Muhammadu Buhari will get more support and votes from Kogi state in 2019 as the state has already endorsed the president for as second term in office.

The governor made this statement on Friday, January 5, 2018, while speaking with State House correspondents after observing Jumaat service at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The Nation reports that the governor added that president Buhari will get more votes in Kogi state than in his home state, Katsina.

He said: “I’m sure you are following us as we are receiving decampees from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and all other political parties. And any time we hold any decamping rally in any local government area you will see the mammoth crowd that turns out.

“So, Kogi state has already endorsed President Buhari for second term. We are just waiting for the time to come. You are going to see the votes that will come out of Kogi state. It will dwarf that of Katsina state I can assure you.”
The governor, also added that his state is not owing workers' salaries.

He said: “In Kogi State today we are up to date as far as salary is concerned. In the month of December like Mr. President magnanimously assisted us with another tranche of Paris Club Refund, our own figure was N1.2 billion and some other change on top.

“We didn’t just stopped at that, we borrowed up to N10 billion and we added November/December allocation to our figures and we were able to clear four months at a stretch before Christmas and some left over were cleared before this January in Kogi state.

“As you all know the salary was very bogus and according to the figure we had we were able to distribute it among these months.

“Moving forward from this January, we have decided that we are going to make use of our clock-in device for every civil servant in Kogi State both at local and state levels. So that as you come to work and clock-in, that is exactly how your salary will end up being generated.
“It is online, it is automated so nobody is going to cheat anybody. That is how we are going to go in the state so Kogi state civil servants and pensioners will be happy with this administration.”

Meanwhile, Hitng.com.ng previously reported that Ya’u Umar Gojo-Gojo, a former speaker of the Katsina state House of Assembly and the Katsina North senatorial district candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2015 general election, has declared that the opposition party cannot defeat President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019.

Though Buhari is yet to declare interest to seek re-election, Gojo-Gojo, who has now defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), says the quest by the PDP to reclaim the presidential and Katsina state’s governorship seats are misplaced hope.

What a governor!! This is the greatest disaster that has befallen kogi in recent times

pot calling kettle black... you should be fighting to even retain your own seat talk more of buhari..

It seems these men in power dont read the same news we read and listen to..

Buhari should learn from Jonathan's mistake and read the writing on the wall. Don't let these psychopaths lead you to your doom.

I don't blame him. Bello and Buhari are birds of same feather, performance wise.
