Yahaya Bello formally proclaims his candidacy for President in 2023.
Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has declared his candidacy for President in 2023.
On Saturday in Abuja, Bello formally announced his intention to run for President.
His announcement puts an end to rumors about him running for President in 2023.
Senator Jonathan Zwingina, Femi Fani-Kayode, and other prominent Nigerians were present at the event.
Zwingina branded the Presidential candidate as a detribalized Nigerian who leads Kogi with appointees from other states, according to him.
Zwingina emphasized the importance of Bello as President, noting that the "governor removed instability from Kogi, the state would have been a breeding ground for kidnapping and banditry if it hadn't been for his leadership qualities."

Terrorists are said to have bombed the Abuja-Kaduna rail line on Monday.
An Abuja-Kaduna train carrying passengers derailed after the terrorists' improvised explosive device detonated.
Following that, the terrorists attacked the train, injuring a large number of passengers.
The terrorists may have kidnapped some of the 970 passengers on board, according to reports.
Security personnel were dispatched to the scene of the attack.
This comes just days after terrorists stormed Kaduna International Airport, preventing a plane from setting departure.
"They (terrorists) put IEDs," a source said. When it went off, the train was derailed. There was chaos everywhere, and some people might have been taken."
Fidet Okhiria, the Managing Director of the Nigerian Railway Cooperation, acknowledged the occurrence.
"Information concerning the incident is still vague, and no precise information can be offered at this time," Okhiria told the News Agency of Nigeria.
"We have confirmed the attack, but we are unable to provide further details at this time."
Most of the passengers have gone into hiding, according to reports, and the officials on board have yet to provide us with an update on the situation.
"Gunshots have been heard, and the train has derailed as a result of the attack," Okhiria said.
According to NAN, the incident occurred on the way to Kaduna from Abuja, between Katari and Rijana train stations.

Sorry is a strong word
A word of settlement for haunted minds
Is a word of reunion and understanding
A forgiving word SORRY
Heals the guilt hearts
Gives way for new being.
SORRY is a breakthrough word.

Crossing the Bar
Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell, When I embark;
For tho’ from out our bourne of Time and Place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crost the bar.
