Youth across the country under the umbrella body ‘Governor Yahaya Bello [GYB] Move’, over the weekend in Abuja the nation’s capital, called on the Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello to vie for the leadership position of the country come 2023 and help solve some of the housing challenges faced in the country.
The leader and one of the organizers of the group, Comrade Babangida Abdullahi said that the group cherished and appreciate the housing achievements of Yahaya Bello in Kogi State, hence the need for him to translate these housing strides to the national level. He also stated that security, health and education should be an area of concentration for Bello as he has protected the state from insecurity that includes arm banditry, thug activities and kidnapping creating community policing. He also praised Yahaya Bello for inaugurating the 441 Special Contabulary Police in the state.
The person that anchored the event, Fatima Maina in her words, said “I don’t know Yahaya Bello from Adam but, I have seen the housing strides he has carried out in Kogi State. I look at him as a young, strong, wild lion that can move the country’s housing sector forward after the present government”.
Others at the event called on Bello if eventually he vies for the presidential position in the country, should look into housing mortgage system in the country, as it will go a long way to providing opportunities for the masses, especially the low income earners to own their houses.
The group also appreciated President Muhammadu Buhari for the construction of 300,000 housing units under the Economic Sustainability Plan and hope that Yahaya Bello will imbibe the project in the future.
