Kogi State Governor and presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress, Yahaya Bello, has donated his campaign office to APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

Bello announced the donation of the campaign office when Tinubu paid him a visit in Abuja on Friday.

The governor said he had collapsed his Presidential Campaign Council and would donate the building to Tinubu’s campaign organisation.

He added that he would be on the streets to campaign for Tinubu and take APC to victory.

He said: “Today, I have collapsed my Presidential Campaign Organisation.

“I am donating my campaign organisation secretariat to you. I have learnt a lot from the little lecture you gave to us.

“What elders see when they are in the valley, the younger ones won’t see it,” Bello said.

The governor further promised to lead the youth to campaign for Tinubu to ensure that APC would win convincingly.

Governor Bello said: “Never again will PDP lead this country. Thank you all my colleague governors for giving me the opportunity to learn from you.

“Senator Abdullahi Adamu (APC national chairman) has never lost election and we will win the 2023 election. Our convention went well and peacefully.”

On his part, Tinubu commended Bello for mobilising the consciousness of youths during his campaign.

He further described Bello as his son, adding that the governor was reminded of “what the nation wants to be”.

“If you want to run, run; you want to crawl, crawl; you want to dance, dance.

“Yahaya Bello is my son; you mobilised the consciousness of the youth in the county. You remind us of what the nation wants to be.”

Tinubu further described his victory as a very good step for the APC stakeholders to work for one united country that is concened about prosperity.
