From CHRISTIANA EKPA, Lokoja

All Progressive Congress nominated Candidate and the replacement to the late Prince Abubakar Audu, Alhalji Yahaya Bello has disclosed that he is going to be the Governor of all the people of Kogi State and not the governor of the people of Central senatorial district as speculated.

Addressing newsman in Lokoja, Bello said, He was one of the persons that never believed in the reality of power shifts as it is being promoted noting that God brought  him on. He added that he will work hard to bring all aggrieved members of his party together.
