Yahaya Bello Claims He Stopped Ajaokuta Steel Sale
Alhaji Yahaya Bello, the former governor of Kogi State and All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial candidate for Kogi Central, asserted that he utilized legal and political strategies to halt the sale of the Ajaokuta Steel Company during the administration of late President Muhammadu Buhari. This statement was made during his consultation tour of Ajaokuta Local Government Area on October 4, 2026, as he prepares for the 2027 general elections.
Bello emphasized the importance of the steel complex as a national asset. His tour included visits to the three districts of Ajaokuta LGA, where he engaged with traditional rulers, political leaders, and supporters.
He received a warm welcome in Okene and sought royal blessings from the Ohi of Ajaokuta, Alhaji Isah Musa Achuja. Bello introduced APC candidates for the upcoming elections and urged support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo.
He announced plans for a mega rally in Ajaokuta to strengthen unity and mobilization efforts.
