The Rescue Nigeria Mission, a movement mobilising for the emergence of Gov. Yahaya Bello of Kogi as Nigeria’s next President, on Saturday, held a town hall meeting with women and youths in Kano.
The coordinator of the movement in Kano State, Mr Abdul Amat-Maikwashewa, said the Kogi governor had contributed immensely to the development of youths in Nigeria by drawing them closer to his government and instituting people-oriented policies for their benefit.
Amat-Maikwashewa said members of the group came up with the idea of queueing behind Bello for as Presidential candidate was because “looking around, no one beats his record currently in Nigeria.”
“We had to go to him to plead with him to run because he is not part of the old order and he is a formidable youth through whom we can realise the yearning of youths to take over governance in Nigeria,” he said.
The Chief of Staff to the Kogi governor, Mr Abdulkareem Jamiu, who was at the inauguration of the members, said Nigeria needed to breathe fresh air in the interest of the country and Nigerians at large.
