Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello has been officially
sworn-in as the 4th Executive Governor of Kogi
State.
He was sworn-in precisely 12:02pm at the
Confluence stadium, Lokoja by the Chief Judge
of Kogi State, Justice Nasir Ajanah with the
administration of oath.
 In ceremony
on Wednesday, Governor Bello pointed out
that there was no greater evil than
corruption and that “nothing champions
that evil more than impunity”.
“We Will Be Different”
“Corruption and impunity make sure our
people repeatedly arrive at a promised
future and find it bereaved of substance or
the promised better life.
“Let it be recorded today, that future
generations will not be given reasons to
count the incoming administration among
those who revel in corruption or impunity.
We will be different by the grace of God.
“We must and will be that generation of
leaders who made the entirety of Kogi
resources work for the entirety of Kogi
people accordingly.
“I hereby declare and affirm that the
Yahaya Bello administration will have zero
tolerance for corruption and impunity,” the
new Governor stressed.
He also promised to lead Kogi State by
honest and humble example.
‘Change Ideology’
Citing a quote of President Muhammadu
Buhari, during his inaugural speech in May
last year, Mr Bello said: ” I belong to
everybody and I belong to nobody”.
According to him, the quote defines the
purpose and methodology of his
administration and sets an agenda of
inclusiveness which he said would
characterise his tenure.
“In this singular sentence, Mr President
summarised the restorative force of the
change ideology with which our great
party, the All Progressives Congress (APC)
has swept Nigeria.
“I now declare it our guiding principle for
fair action and equitable governance in
Kogi State.
“My administration shall exist for the sole
purpose of serving the superseding
interest of the people of Kogi State to the
very best of its capability.
“We also undertake to never lend our
capacities to serving the interest of
anyone or group whether from Kogi State
or elsewhere,” the new Kogi State Governor
stated.
Mr Bello was elected on the platform of the
APC, in the election held in December last year.
