“As Governor, I never once underestimated the amount of work that needed to be done considering the abysmal levels of socio-economic development we inherited. But I also tell myself that I did not come into government to glorify impossibilities, but to solve problems. Thus, I had a vision for the state even before I ran for office which formed the substratum of my manifesto during campaigns, and I had it developed into a roadmap for my work once I was elected Governor. We call it the New Direction Blueprint, and from inception it became our roadmap for proportional and accelerated development of Kogi State in all her constituencies. I matched my blueprint with a stubborn will and went all out in pursuit of it. By the help of God and a commitment to excellence, we have made tremendous progress.” Governor Yahaya Bello ‘Perspectives on Leadership and Aspiration’ Transcorp Hilton, Abuja. July 8, 2021.
