GOVERNOR Yahaya Bello has boasted that he would garner unprecedented votes if he decided to contest the 2023 presidency.
Bello, however, said the will of God would be done concerning his political ambition in 2023 adding that for now national issue must take precedence over personal ambition.
Speaking to newsmen in Abuja at the weekend, Bello said, “If it’s the will of God for me to become president in this country at the right time, I will be.”
“I will record a vote that has never been recorded in Nigeria by the grace of God. But that’s not the issue right now; the issue is there must be Nigeria before we talk of 2023,”
Bello also denied reports that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) had a zoning arrangement ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
He said anyone from any zone was free to contest for presidency in 2023, as there was no zoning arrangement in the APC.
“There is nothing like zoning in our party. In 2015, there was no zoning; many aspirants, including former governor Rochas Okorocha, contested.
“In 2019, there was no zoning; people in APC were not courageous enough to contest with President Muhammadu Buhari.”
