'We will surpass Lagos in terms of development soon' - Yahaya Bello vows

The outgoing Governor of Kogi, Yahaya Bello, has revealed that he aspires for Kogi to surpass Lagos in terms of progress.

He made this known while leading the governor-elect, Usman Ododo, on a visit to Oluremi Tinubu, the wife of President Bola Tinubu.

According to Bello, his vision for Kogi State was inspired from the developmental strides in Lagos, which were done under leadership and initiatives of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

He stressed on his confidence in Ododo’s capabilities as his successor, who is slated to assume office from January 27, 2024.

Bello said: “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.”
