Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello was given a ‘heroic’ welcome upon his return to the state capital, Lokoja from a trip, Igbere TV reports.
Igbere TV reports that the governor who has been away in Abuja, for days, returned to the state on Saturday in a grand style.
Large crowd of supporters and residents trooped to the city centre to catch a glimpse of the youngest Nigerian governor.
Though reasons for his trip to Abuja could not be immediately ascertained, an aide of the governor who craved anonymity, however, said Bello was away on political reasons.
Igbere TV reports that Governor Bello whose tenure comes to an end soon, is seeking for a reelection on the platform of his party, All Progressives Congress (APC).
Already, the governor has obtained his nomination form and has Senator Dino Melaye of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), as main challenger in the Kogi State 2019 guber poll.
