The Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, on Sunday, met in a closed door meeting with former president Olusegun Obasanjo, according to the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Muhammed Onogwu.

Onogwu said the governor and the former president had fruitful discussion, adding that Obasanjo urged the governor to sustain his effort in providing security for his state,noting that “Kogi is central to the nation’s peace and development.”

“Former President Obasanjo noted that the fight against insecurity should have everybody on board, stressing that governors should involve everyone to ensure insecurity is curtailed in Nigeria,” the governor’s aide said.

Onogwu qouted Obasanjo as having appreciated the Governor for his developmental effort in the state, especially in the areas of youth and women inclusion in politics and governance, infrastructure, health and education.

Onogwu added that Obasanjo charged Governor Bello to continue to be an advocate for youth involvement in governance.

Responding,the Governor thanked former President for ‘his statesman’s role, fatherly disposition and wealth of wisdom which the young leaders were privileged to tap from.”

According to him, though kogi state is surrounded by 10 other states and the FCT, making it the nexus between the South and North, West and East of Nigeria, “Kogi, one of the 19 Northern States, stands in stoic defence against criminal elements, thus gaining acclaim as one of the safest in the country.”

Bello assured former President Obasanjo that he would not rest in the fight to ensure total safety for the people of the state while continuing to do his best to ensure the fulfilment of his electoral promises.

The Governor prayed God to continue to protect Obasanjo with good health and long life.
