Former President Olusegun
Obasanjo has urged the Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, to sustain his
efforts in providing security in his state.
Ex-President Obasanjo gave the
advice after a closed-door meeting with the governor on Sunday in Abuja.
A statement issued late Sunday
night by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mohammed Onogwu, said his
principal and the former President met behind closed doors and had a “fruitful
discussion” that centered on security.
The Chief Press Secretary quoted
Obasanjo as saying that Kogi is central to the nation’s peace and development.
“Former President Obasanjo noted
that the fight against insecurity should have everybody on board, stressing
that governors should involve everyone to ensure insecurity is curtailed in
Nigeria,” it added.
While appreciating the Governor
for his developmental effort in the state especially in the areas of youth and
women inclusion in politics and governance, infrastructure, health, and
education, Obasanjo charged Governor Bello to “continue to be an advocate for
youth involvement in governance”
Responding, Governor Bello
thanked Obasanjo for his statesman’s role, fatherly disposition, and wealth of
wisdom which the young leaders are privileged to tap from.
Bello assured Obasanjo that he
will not rest in the fight to ensure total safety for his people and will
continue to do his best to ensure his electoral promises are fulfilled
