Youths under the auspices of Rescue Nigeria Mission (RENMISS), a socio-political group, say they have perfected the master plan to ensure Yahaya Bello, Kogi governor, becomes Nigeria’s president in 2023.

The group, on Saturday, stormed Calabar, Cross River state capital, to sensitise youths on Bello’s presidential ambition.

The group said it has mobilised over 20 million youths with permanent voter cards (PVCs) and they are ready to install the governor as the next president of the country.

John Akainza, coordinator of Rescue Nigeria Mission project in the south-south, said the group is ready to change the country’s narrative.

“We have been going from house to house, school to school, without you prompting us. I repeat that we are going to shock money politicians and show the world that we can install our own in Nigeria. Let the core politicians do their own. It will be the first time in the history of Nigeria that we will change the narrative,” he said.

“It is amazing how much everyone wants Governor Yahaya Bello to be there. People have seen how different he is from the pack. If Kogi state could turn around within such a short period, in all ramifications, including security, what else are we asking for?

“I am glad to tell you that as of today, this is the only governor that has been able to say it as it is even in the face of pressure. Everyone must strive to join in making history in our great country.”

Bolanle Ninalowo, south-west coordinator of RENMISS, said Bello is representing the youth of the country.

“On Yahaya Bello we stand. If there is any other youth singing another tune, we don’t understand that, and they are not part of us. This is the only candidate Nigerian youths have. He has demonstrated that our tomorrow is here in Kogi. We don’t want to be perpetual leaders of tomorrow but leaders of today,” Ninalowo said.

“Voting him assures sound judgement across all sectors of the economy because his administration will be populated by fresh, intelligent, smart minds. Kogi is working today because of that. That is the only state where before the end of the year, their audited financial account is out, among other first feats.”

Abdulkareem Jamiu Asuku, chief of staff to the governor, commended the youths for identifying with his principal, noting that the governor would not disappoint them.
