Bello made this statement in an interview on Politics Sunday, a program aired on TVC, where he expressed confidence in his prospects ahead of the election.
When asked whether he could defeat the incumbent senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, whom the interviewer called a popular opponent, Bello said the election would show where he stands politically.
He said, “The result will speak for itself.”
Asked if he was still popular enough to keep his nickname, the “White Lion,” the former governor responded, “Let the day come and go.”
When questioned about whether he was still popular enough to keep his nickname, the “White Lion,” the former governor responded, “Let the day come and go.”
When pressed on what election day would deliver, Bello stated, “Massive vote. Decisive victory.”
He later made clear that the victory he expected would be for himself and the All Progressives Congress.
Bello, who served as governor of Kogi State from 2016 to 2024, is aiming to return to elective office by representing Kogi Central in the Senate in 2027.
