Kogi Gov to Nigerians: Support Buhari because Allah anointed him at this period to lead Nigeria

Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, has called on Nigerians to pray for the nation and be prepared to sacrifice for her greatness.
The governor, who gave the charge in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Kingsley Fanwo, said the nation “is going through an invaluable opportunity to think out of the box to rebound the nation to greatness”.
According to the governor, no nation can grow without selfless sacrifices from her citizens, saying the season is an example of extraordinary affinity to Allah for breakthrough and progress.
“We have not been disadvantaged by what we are passing through. The states only need to key into the efforts by the Federal Government at diversifying our economy and grow it around agriculture, tourism and other non-oil based resources.
“The President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration has the requisite integrity, discipline and human resource to drive the new vista of development around agriculture, tourism and other mineral resources. Agriculture and tourism are capable of earning what is enough to grow our economy and lift our people from poverty and deprivation.
“Nigeria must remain united. We must continue to pray for our leaders as directed by Allah. Every leader is anointed by Allah, therefore, we must continue to pray for our nation and our leaders.”
The governor called on the youth to shun criminality and embrace the development agenda of the present administration to make Nigeria the centerpiece of modern development in Africa.
Bello said his administration has declared Kogi an agribusiness hub, saying the state, under his watch, is prepared to feed the nation.
“This is the time for leaders to look inwards and know that they are accountable to Allah. We must come together as a nation and rally round the father of the nation, President Muhammadu Buhari, to ensure that his lofty plans for the nation see the light of the day.”
He pledged to use agriculture to drum up a “renewed hope for economic renaissance”, calling on investors around the world to see Nigeria as the hope of Sub-Sahara Africa.
The governor thanked the people of the North-Central state for their immeasurable sacrifices and support for his administration, saying Kogi’s best years are already unfolding.
He said recent efforts by the Federal Government to revive the Ajaokuta Steel Company and the Iron Ore Company at Itakpe are “plausible expression of intent to stir the nation to industrial greatness”, urging the new investors to justify the confidence reposed in them by the Federal Government.
He called on Muslims around the world to live peacefully with people of other religions in accordance with Allah’s injunction.
His words: “A world of peace is inestimable. Peace is the father of development. As we seek development around the world, we must preach peace among nations, religions and ethnicities. Muslims must be seen at the forefront of promoting peace around the world,” he said.
