Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, says Nigeria will be safer and more secure when politicians stop the use of thugs and criminals during elections.
Bello made this on Wednesday during an interview on Channels Television breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily.
“When politicians begin to stop the use of thugs, touts, or some group of criminal that is when we will begin to have safety and security,” Bello said.
The governor also stressed that he won the November 16, 2019 Governorship Poll without the use of ‘boys’ or thugs.
According to him, political thuggery and use of ‘boys’ during elections was the order of the day in Kogi before he came into power but he “refused to play that kind of dangerous politics.”
