Senator representing Kogi West, Smart Adeyemi in an old video was quoted expressing his resolve to support Governor Yahaya Bello through thick and thin.
This comes on the heels of the just concluded All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election in the State where Yahaya Bello’s preferred candidate, Ahmed Usman Ododo was declared winner of the poll amidst rejection by some of the contestants including Sen. Adeyemi.
But, in a video clip obtained by TRIBUNE ONLINE, the Kogi lawmaker once said he would support Yahaya Bello’s successor not minding the outcome.
“I heard some people have been talking. Whenever the governor is leaving office, if he likes, let him bring my worst political enemies as successor, I will support him. I am not in a hurry for any positions.
“Whomever Bello brings, we’ll support him. I am a progressive-minded person, I am a man of faith. I am here by the grace of God using Yahaya Bello and you people.
“There is no interest to defend in Kogi because Governor Bello is a just and fair person. So there is nothing to fight with him. He is our neighbor and in- law, and God mandates us to love our neighbors as yourself,” Adeyemi made this known in Iyara, Ijumu local government area of Kogi state in 2020 when he flagged off distribution of foodstuffs to his constituents.
