A group named The Bello North Central Youths Support Group (BENCYSG) has threatened to drag Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, to court if he fails to run pick the presidential ticket in 2023.
This was contained in a statement signed by its Coordinator, Mr Wilfred Mustapha and Secretary, Ms Hajara Lawal on Monday in Abuja.
The group said it would obtain the nomination form for the governor, adding that he is the only qualified candidate from the North Central with the capability to unite the nation.
The statement said, “We, youths from North Central have already sent our pre-action notice to Gov. Yahaya Bello.
“In an event he dare succumb to any pressure to withdraw (God forbid) from the race, we will ask our team of lawyers to sue him.
“This is because he is the only one that is capable of delivering the desired change and uniting the country for progress owing to his track records.
“Fundamentally, the regionalism and zoning system favours Bello more than any other contender.
”He comes from a region (North Central) that has never produced the president or vice president since the country return to democracy in 1999.’’
