Kogi: My Endorsement Not Electoral Votes – Buhari Tells Traditional Rulers Seeking Support For Gov Bello

Gov. Yahaya Bello, Kogi state governor has taken state influential traditional rulers to beg Mr. Muhammadu Buhari, the Nigeria President for his endorsement for the November 11 state governor election.

All the prominent traditional rulers in the state followed Bello to beg Buhari, except Mr. Ado Ibrahim, the Ohinoyi of Ibiraland.

Starnews gathered that Ibrahim said he cannot support Bello because he finds it difficult to convince his subjects to vote for Bello citing the Governor’s failure as reason he can’t endorse him for second term in office.

Sources said president Buhari asked the traditional rulers to go back home and convince their people to vote Bello and not come to him for endorsement which would not translate to electoral votes of the good people of Kogi State.

Bello seem to have lost popularity among his people, with many electorates including civil servants waiting for the day of the Governorship election to vote him out of office.

Some Leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has also rejected his second term ambition over the allegation of non performance.
