The Kogi lawmakers on Tuesday took their campaign for the presidential bid of Governor Yahaya Bello to Kwara State

He commended the giant strides of the Kogi governor and said the social media criticisms of him were not reflective of the infrastructural developments that have taken place under his administration.

“Governor Yahaya Bello is doing very well both at the state and national levels, contributing to discourse at the zonal and national levels.“At our meeting in Makurdi, we agreed that the zone had been left out in so many things under civilian administration. North Central has not produced either president or vice president at all.

“We have had several meetings both at the North Central Governors’ Forum level and recently I hosted the North Central Peoples Forum headed by General J.T. Useni and what we discussed were about the way forward for the North Central.”Mr AbdulRazaq urged the federal government to invest more in extractive infrastructure for the region and prioritise the dredging of the River Niger.“The geopolitical zone is lagging behind in critical infrastructure and socio-economic development.

“River Niger, which we depend on for most of what we do, needs to be dredged. The annual flooding causes a lot of havoc but if it is dredged and harnessed properly, it will open up new economic prospects for Kwara, Kogi, Niger and Benue states especially.

I hereby zone the Presidency to Kogi state and to Governor Bello's family. Can you people now pass a jot of that special Kogi weed to me?

Those ones kuku no get any better legislative business for that dem Kogi

My thinking is that the zoning should be based on the 6 geopolitical zones and inshrined in the constitution. Not just north- south. That way there is 100% inclusiveness.

Be deceiving yourself. Power belong to Southwest

Tell him.. He is mad
