According to Governor Bello during the programme: “Nigerians, the youth and women, and all Nigerians, including very objective elites are asking me to run for President in 2023,” he said.

“My answer will be in the affirmative in a few time from now.

Onyxnews understands that the Kogi State Governor’s present comment contradicts his statement last December. He said “running for president in 2023 not his priority.”
He made the statement through his Chief Press Secretary, Nnogwu Sani Mohammed at the security and economic summit of the North Central Governors Forum in Makurdi, the Benue State capital.
The Governor told his supporters not to distract him with the call for him to contest the 2023 presidential election.
He said he is focused on delivering the dividend of democracy to the people of his state.
