Yahaya Bello, the outgoing governor of Kogi State, has expressed optimism that the state will surpass Lagos in terms of growth.
Bello stated that he is following President Bola Tinubu’s lead in order to surpass Lagos in terms of growth.
He gave this speech on Tuesday when accompanying Usman Ododo, the state’s next governor, to Tinubu’s wife Oluremi.
According to Bello: “Definitely Ododo is my worthy successor that the almighty has given the crown to be the governor as from January 27, 2024.
“In a simple term, what I am envisioning Kogi to be is just like what our president planted in Lagos to what Lagos is today.
“In the next administration and nearest future, I envision Kogi to be trailing behind if not overtaking Lagos in terms of development; that is why we are emulating and following the footsteps of President Tinubu.”
