A former House of Assembly Aspirant for Yagba East State Constituency, Hon. Salimonu Almaruf has hailed the impact of former Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello, as he marks his 51st birthday.
Almaruf in a statement, described Bello’s tenure and continued influence as defining moments in Kogi’s political history, noting the milestones achieved under his leadership.
According to him, Bello came into Kogi politics as a pathfinder who broke barriers and opened the door for younger Nigerians in governance.
He commended the former governor for the infrastructure projects, security reforms, and youth-focused policies that characterized his administration.
Hon. Almaruf further described Bello as a Supreme Leader whose political strategy and direction have earned him good name, stressing that Bello’s impact goes beyond office, as many leaders today still draw lessons from his approach to governance and party building.
