Yahaya Bello, governor of Kogi state, said he believes Bola Tinubu, national leader of the APC cannot be president, but will rather support a youthful president in 2023, because he is a kingmaker.

The 69-year-old Tinubu, although, has not declared he will be running for office of the president, many Nigerians believe he is nursing the ambition to lead the country in 2023.

Bello, who is currently serving his second tenure in office, became one of Nigeria’s youngest governors at the age of 40 in 2015 and he is believed to be interested in the 2023 presidential race.

When asked in an interview with the BBC Pidgin who will make a better president between him and Tinubu in 2023, the Kogi governor said Tinubu is a kingmaker who knows his limitations and would rather advocate for the younger generation to take over the leadership of the country.

“Our national leader, Tinubu, is a revered statesman, well-respected by all, including me. I know that he is a smart mentor. He has brought up a lot of leaders in this country. He’s a wonderful kingmaker. And I know surely that he wants this country to be on auto-cruise very soon. He knows his qualities and limitations. He knows who will be able to drive this country to a successful future. He will part of those that will make a better and youthful president for this country. I believe in his judgement,” he said.

“What is happening now is so amazing.

Nigerian youths, women and Nigerians across boards are calling on me to run for president in 2023. It is something I have been making consultations on. It will interest you to know that not one kobo I have given to anybody to print posters or to do anything. Youths across boards felt it is time for the younger generation to take the seat of a driver to fix Nigeria.

“So, if young Nigerians are asking me to fix this country, they have the right to make such demands. I’m pretty sure if this unity among younger Nigerians continues this way till 2023, nobody aside God almighty will stop the youths from taking over the leadership of this country. By then, I can tell you that the journey of fixing this country has just begun.”

In November 2020, Kingsley Fanwo, Kogi information commissioner, said the governor had been under pressure to run for president in 2023.

One month later, the Kogi house of assembly endorsed him for the country’s highest office.
