In arriving at this decision, the panel of judges noted that Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello, a Nigerian politician, businessman, and the current Governor of Kogi State, have through his action in the past six years demonstrated that his love for his people, his home state-Kogi and most importantly shown willingness that as a young Nigerian leader, that he is laced with capacity to take the nation’s socio economic sector out of the wood while arresting the nagging security challenge that have currently defiled all solutions.
Speaking further, they observed that in this current political dispensation, His Excellency, Governor Yahaya Bello is known to be the youngest governor in Nigeria with the desired physical and mental capacity to meet the growing complexity and diversity in our political environment.
