A renowned philanthropist from Lokoja Local Government Area, Coach Ambassador Gabriel Abinu, has extended warm congratulations to the immediate past Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello, on the occasion of his 50th birthday.
In a personally signed statement issued on Wednesday, Coach Amb. Abinu commended former Governor Bello for what he described as his “bold and transformative leadership” during his eight-year tenure as governor of the state.
According to Abinu, Bello’s administration ushered in remarkable achievements across critical sectors such as health, education, infrastructure, and security.
“Kogi witnessed undeniable progress under Governor Bello’s leadership,” he said. “Despite limited resources, his administration was able to reposition the state on the path of sustainable development.”
Coach Ambassador Abinu further praised Bello for promoting unity across the state’s diverse ethnic, religious, and political lines.
“One of Governor Bello’s most outstanding legacies is his commitment to unity. He governed with a detribalized mindset, fostering inclusivity and bridging divides among the people of Kogi State,” Abinu said.
He also described the former governor as “a quintessential leader of our time,” whose visionary leadership style has left a lasting imprint on the socio-political landscape of the state.
“Governor Bello remains a symbol of hope, unity, and patriotism in Nigeria. His ability to bring people together, regardless of differences, speaks volumes about his deep sense of purpose and commitment to nation-building,” he added.
Aligning himself with other Nigerians who have commended Bello’s achievements, Abinu remarked, “As we celebrate not just the passage of time, but the life of a man who has profoundly transformed Kogi State, we acknowledge his impact and legacy.”
“As you mark this golden milestone of 50 remarkable years, we pray that Almighty Allah continues to bless you abundantly with divine protection, strength, wisdom, and excellent health in the years ahead,” he concluded.
The message adds to a growing chorus of goodwill from supporters and well-wishers across the country as Yahaya Bello celebrates his 50th birthday.
