Speaking with TheNewsGuru (TNG) on the likelihood of governor Bello to join the 2023 presidential race, Fanwo said he is uncertain if his sprincipal will accept the call or not.
His words: “It is a reflection of the fact that Nigerians are calling on him to contest. We don’t know yet if he will accept the call or not. At the appropriate time, he will either accept the call or reject it. But it is good that Nigerians feel he has the right credentials to lead this nation.”
Fanwo reportedly said all over the six zones in Nigeria, a lot of people have been calling on Bello to run for presidency, stressing that he (Bello) is a unifier who is very capable and qualified and perfectly fits into that bracket of what Nigeria wants.”
Bello, who is currently serving his second tenure in office, became one of Nigeria’s youngest governors at the age of 40 in 2015.
