Yahaya Bello, former governor of Kogi, says the 2027 elections will be the “simplest, easiest” for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Bola Tinubu.
Bello spoke on Saturday at a rally in Isanlu in Yagba east LGA of Kogi while welcoming a group of politicians who were defecting to the APC.
Bello declared that the wave of defection translates to Kogi becoming a “one-party state,” adding that Nigerians will keep Tinubu at Aso Rock till 2031.
“Today, Kogi state house of assembly is going to be one. There would be no minority leader again. The minority leader in the state house of assembly is decamping today,” Bello said.
“Kogi is a one-party state. And, by the special grace of God, come 2027, I have said it before that there is no vacancy in Aso Rock. Tinubu’s mandate was given to him by Nigerians, and they will say to him, ‘hold this mandate until 2031’.
“Who is doing more coalition when everybody is coming to our party? The 2027 election is going to be the simplest and easiest for APC and the president.”
