The Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, has been asked to use the divine mandate given to him by God and the people of Kogi for the benefit of all his constituents. The current Mr. Nigeria International, Matthew Monday, said this in a congratulatory message he sent to the Governor on the occasion of his victory at the just concluded elections tribunals.
The Nigerian ambassador, who is an indigene of Kogi State, said he was proud of his governor and takes great pride in spreading the ‘New Direction’ mantra of His Excellency.
“I humbly wish to congratulate you on the recent victory, and I am so happy to have a man, who believes in restoration and transformation, a young enterprising gallant governor, who is the youngest governor in the Nigeria, as a Father,” he said.
“Because I believe in him, everywhere I go, I speak about the ‘New Direction’ government in my dear state of Kogi. My people have finally chosen a man of great intellect, with a panache for fairness, equity and justice; someone with a golden heart and incorruptible mind. I’m so glad this court case is over and he can now settle down to deliver on his promises and I’m sure he will do just that.”
Matthew further described Gov. Bello as a source of inspiration, a symbol of honour and dedication, and thanked God for blessing his generation with such a man.
Amongst 40 contestants across the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Matthew Monday represented Kogi State as The Mr. Nigeria International Kogi and went on to win the first position in the last edition of the Mr and Miss Nigeria International Pageant, held on the 4th October, 2015. He is therefore, the current MR. NIGERIA INTERNATIONAL and he holds that title with high esteem as a true son of Kogi State. He is from Dekina Local Government Area
