of the forthcoming elections, we will have reasons to glorify God.”
“The youths have come together to adopt his Excellency, Alh. Yahaya Adoza Bello as their own.”

strength and wisdom as he propel Kogi state to greater heights
throughout his administration.
The
Great Ozumi of Okene, (HRH) Alh. Haruna Onotu who laced his speech with
scriptural passages, stated that he is proud to be Ezi-Agada and with
this endorsement by the Youths for Governor Yahaya Bello second term in
office, the next four years would be great for Kogites.
The

opportunity and great honour, it is not easy to meet the body of Youths
in this large number, I am happy that Agada Youth stand by the decision
of traditional rulers and the government of Kogi State. I have never
been ashamed and i will not be ashamed of saying that I belonged to the
class of youth,” he said.

are not divided, the word of God is powerful; everything you can see
today is created by God and with God, we are supporting Governor Bello,
with Alh. Yahaya Bello, Kogi shall be greater because God does not
disappoint his people; the unity in Ebiraland today shall be better.”
He
said there is no reason why Anebira will not continue to support the
continuity of Governor Yahaya Adoza Bello as governor of Kogi State.
“I
urge entire Ezi-Anebira to help him, because his success is our success
and his downfall is ours. We don’t have any reason not to support him.
He is our governor and we owe him the duty of support so that he would
succeed,” Ozigis added.
