“Mr President is the most Democratic President I have ever seen – Yahaya Bello

Yahaya Bello, governor of Kogi state, says President Muhammadu Buhari is the most democratic president he has ever encountered. Bello spoke to state house correspondents after a meeting with Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo on Thursday.

Buhari has been accused of being “a dictator” over allegations of disregarding the rule of law, but the governor said the president, despite being a former military head of state, has allowed things to go the way they should in the country without any interference.

“Mr President is the most democratic president I have ever seen. This is the first time we are seeing a former military head of state that is so democratic to the extent of allowing things happening in his home front to be democratised not to talk of things happening in the country,” he said.

“Whoever is tagging him to be a dictator, I think that person wished to be a dictator himself not Mr president.”
