Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, yesterday said that he was not afraid of other presidential aspirants on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He said he will emerge as the flagbearer of the party.
Bello, who spoke in response to a question at the ongoing Second GYB Annual Seminar for Political and Crime Correspondents and Editors, reiterated that all indicators pointed to the fact that he stood in the best position to win the 2023 election for the APC.
He acknowledged Rotimi Amaechi, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as party elders and founding fathers.
He said though these aspirants are founding fathers, the foundation of a house was not enough to build the house as there were other things to be put in place for the house to stand.
Bello said this just as he maintained the optimism that he was most favoured to clinch the APC ticket for the presidency.
“To answer your question, whether I am scared of other contestants for the presidency, I will say No; I am not scared of anybody in the contest for the APC presidential ticket.
“They are founding members of the APC, but foundation is not enough. I will defeat all the other aspirants because I have all it takes to be a champion. My performance in Kogi State will speak for me,” he noted.
