Hafsat Abiola-Costello, director-general of the Yahaya Bello Campaign Organisation, says the Kogi governor will restore hope and security to Nigeria if elected president in 2023.
Abiola-Costello spoke on Thursday in Abuja when she submitted Bello’s completed nomination forms to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The campaign DG expressed confidence that the Kogi governor would pick the ruling party’s presidential ticket during the primary election, while she added that her principal would be the next president of Nigeria.
“I have come on behalf of our candidate to submit the expression of interest form and I want to express my congratulations to all Nigerians. Today, we have taken another step in the journey to restore hope to Nigerians by submitting the Presidential application of Governor Yahaya Bello,” Abiola-Costello said.

“With this form, we express our sincere assurance that with Yahaya Bello’s candidacy, we have the opportunity to restore to the Nigerian people security, we have the opportunity to restore to the Nigerian people, unity and progress towards prosperity.
“We welcome every candidate to the race and we want to encourage all Nigerians to keep faith. Governor Yahaya Bello did not start this effort this month, he did not start it this year, he started it many years ago. He has canvassed the whole country and he has signaled to the Nigerian people his capacity of competence.
“He has built his credibility within the party and he has built allies along religions, across every divide. So, we have nothing to fear from other candidates, especially those who are just applying now. We see that some candidates are going around meeting people. We have been doing that for years. We are fully confident by the movement that he represents.

She also stated that Bello will work to restore sanity to the civil service system in the country as he has done in Kogi.
