The governor, who disclosed this when he featured in a program on Arise TV programme, said Nigerians would have a heave of relief when he takes over the country’s leadership in two years time.

The governor disclosed that he inherited a state divided along ethnic and religious lines but said his administration had been able to resolve the issues.

He said: “By the grace of God when I would have [been] sworn in as the president and commander-in-chief taking over from Buhari on May 29, 2023, Nigeria will have a heave of relief.

“When I assumed office in 2016, I inherited a state that was largely divided along ethnic, religious and tribal lines.

“I inherited a State faced with a lot of crimes and criminal activities. I was faced with a state begging for leadership. I inherited a state that required the binding of youths, women and all-inclusive governance.

“But today, Kogi is more united than ever before.”
