2023 Presidency: ‘Bello’s aspiration transcends party politics, zoning sentiment’

.        Yahaya Bello


As preparations for the 2023 general elections take shape on the platforms of the two major political parties, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), fans of Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State, have urged political stakeholders not to make the mistake of electing President Muhammadu Buhari’s successor on sentiments of ethnicity and zoning.
 
Although there are debates over the issue of zoning in the ruling APC, where Bello and his adherents belong, those who believe in the Kogi State Governor’s capacity to lead the country, say his “presidential ambition transcends zoning, which some powers-that-be have been trying to play up against the interest of the country.”

To Bello’s supporters, which is spread across the six geo-political zones of Nigeria and particularly among women and youth folks, the serious challenges facing the country at present require radical leadership skills, which the governor of Kogi has demonstrated he possesses.
 
Although some personalities like the National Leader of ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, Senator Rochas Okorocha, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu and others from the South have expressed interest in contesting the presidency on the platform of the ruling party, Bello’s supporters believe that the Kogi governor is among the few from North Central, whose capacity to redeem Nigeria outweighs the sentiment of zoning.
 
While gladiators on the platform of APC are saying Buhari’s successor must come from the South to balance the unwritten zoning agreement, there is also a division between Southwest and Southeast zones on whose turn it is to produce the president.

Firstly, what are the different skin tones? The best judge which colors should form the core of your wardrobe, you’ll need to determine whether your skin has a warm undertone, a cool undertone, or a neutral undertone. If the veins on your wrist are more blue than green, you have cool-toned skin. If they’re more green, your skin is warm-toned. If it’s hard to tell, you likely have a neutral skin tone. 1.COOL UNDERTONES WHAT COLORS LOOK BEST ON COOL UNDERTONES? If you’ve got pale skin and light features, then hues that clearly contrast with your skin tone will — quite literally — bring some color to your complexion. “I’d recommend basing your outfit around darker colors, which you can combine with lighter colors,” says Selfridges personal shopper and stylist Daniel Rhone.
