Ahead of 2023 general election, Kogi State governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello has come under serious scrutiny of the Professor of Law and Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), Itse Sagay, where rubbished Kogi governor’s insistence to contest.
Yahaya Bello has been vocal on his ambition to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023 on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
In an interview on Saturday, Itse Sagay (SAN) wrote off Kogi State governor, likening him to a lightweight boxer, adding that it would be a mismatch the governor to want to enter a contest with political heavyweights such as Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Vice- President Yemi Osinbajo and Rotimi Amaechi, Minister of Transportation.
Sagay stated” “Let Yahaya Bello compare himself to the others and he will know that he doesn’t even qualify to be in the presidential league at all. The race is totally beyond him.
“When you compare it to a boxing match, Yahaya Bello is like a boxer in the lightweight category wants to punch with a heavyweight boxer. Even the boxing officials will not allow that to happen because it is a mismatch.
“So, the 2023 presidential election is out of Yahaya Bello’s league and I don’t think he was serious all this while when he said he will soon declare interest to run.”
Bello who is notorious for salary percentage payment in barely seven years of his administration in Kogi State hasn’t prove his mettle to show him a presidential material so far.
The infrastructural deficit in Kogi State and the reign of abject poverty during his administration has also not added up, when it comes to analysing politics with regards to the 2023 presidential election.
