2023: APC Needs A Competent Candidate No Matter Where He Comes From – Gov Bello

Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) needs a presidential candidate who will turn the country’s fortunes around irrespective of where such person comes from.

The governor made the comment on Monday when he spoke on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily amid calls for the presidential seat to be zoned to the south region of Nigeria.

“What Nigerians require, first is a competent, committed, smart thinking and smart acting candidate who will turn the fortunes of this country around irrespective of where he comes from,” the governor said during the breakfast show.

“We have seen turn by turn presidency in this country in the past and we have seen the results. What Nigerians require is a man who will give that hope.”

According to him, the country needs a president who will unite every part of Nigeria and also build on the legacies of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“What the party requires now is a smart, vibrant and younger generation to take over the mantle of leadership,” he explained.
