Tinubu Is An Angel Sent By God To Fix Nigeria – Yahaya Bello

Former Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, has described President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as an “angel sent by God” to restore and transform Nigeria.

Bello made the remark on Saturday during an endorsement rally for President Tinubu and Kogi State Governor Usman Ododo, which was broadcast live on TVC.

“We will not wait for God to send an angel with wings to fly into Nigeria to fix it. The angel is President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” Bello said. “If you are waiting to see an angel flying with wings to come and fix Nigeria, you will wait forever.”

The former governor praised Tinubu’s administration for implementing key reforms, including the removal of fuel subsidy, the introduction of student loans, and the floating of the naira exchange rate. He said these policies were part of the “new Nigeria” citizens had long demanded.

“Before 2015, we said we wanted a new Nigeria without oil subsidy, a new Nigeria with student loans, a new Nigeria with a floating exchange rate, and one where there will be more money in the hands of both government and citizens. That is what is happening today,” Bello stated.

Acknowledging the challenges of governance, Bello noted that the process of rebuilding the nation would take time due to years of systemic decay. He urged Nigerians to support the president’s efforts to deliver on his promises.

“No government can fix everything at once because of the long years of decay in the system,” he said. “Mr. President is fixing it, and he will fix it. We will support him to fix it.”

Bello also stressed the importance of leadership legacy, urging Nigerians to back Tinubu’s long-term vision for the country.

“Going into the future, not only the 2027 election, we want a situation where Mr. President will leave behind a lasting legacy,” he said. “Leadership without legacy is zero—it’s as good as never coming to power.”

Reflecting on his own political journey, Bello said he felt fulfilled by the progress made under his watch and his continued support for the current administration.

Bello’s remarks come as political alignments intensify ahead of the 2027 general elections, with President Tinubu’s supporters highlighting his economic and governance reforms as evidence of a renewed national direction.
