… Picks form for House of Reps
BY BENEDICT NWACHUKWU, ABUJA
Kogi State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Kingsley Fanwo, has declared that he will sacrifice anything for his principal, Governor Yahaya Bello to become President of Nigeria in 2023.
Fanwo made the declaration on Friday when he came to pick the expression of interest and nomination forms to vie for the Yagba East and Yagba West Federal Constituency, House of Representatives.
He said if has to choose between his election and that of GYB, he will choose that his governor and benefactor succeeds. “I will easily choose that my boss, my mentor, my benefactor, governor Yahaya Bello, becomes the president. I can sacrifice anything for him to become the president of this country. It is not about me. It is about our nation. It is about the person that can bring security and unity and he can do it.”
The commissioner said he did not dabble into politics because he has learnt from the best, referring to Governor Yahaya Bello, in terms of administration, humanitarian service, etc.
“I have learnt from the best in terms of politics, in terms of administration, in terms of humanitarian service, I have learnt from the best and the best is Alhaji Yahaya Bello. You know when you look at what he has done in Kogi State, all of us are proud of his giant strides. This is a man that inherited a balkanized state. A state that was divided, a state that was disunited but he came and ensured unity in the state.
“And apart from that, our governor has been able to ensure security in the state. A state that was almost becoming a pariah state, a state that was the cesspit of kidnapping and criminalities, he has been able to put his foot down to ensure that our state today is one of the safest states in Nigeria.
“Also when you look at prosperity, with all of his program that touched on the welfare of the good people of Kogi State, you will agree with me that he’s the best thing to have happened to the people of Kogi State. And that’s why we are not surprised that Nigerians are calling on him, he’s the first to pay for the expression of interest form and nomination form to become the president of Nigeria.
“When he becomes president, I am not saying if he becomes president, I am saying when he becomes president, he will ensure security, he will ensure unity and he will enthrone prosperity in our nation.”
Fanwo maintained that he has good programmes that will ensure dividends of democracy for his constituency.
“I am contesting to represent the great people of Yagba federal constituency and when you look at the people of Yagba, we are blessed with best brains in Nigeria. When you talk of the best educationist, the best in medicine, the best in engineering, you are talking of the very good poeple of Yagba, but unfortunately for us, we are not being represented in that capacity in the green Chambers. I am not saying the person there now is not doing anything, he has done some good things, but the reason why I’m stepping forward is because I can do it better.”
