In another report, Legit.ng reported that in what will divide opinion in Nigeria, Bello praised the performance of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

According to him, the party has performed beyond the 16-year achievement of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Specifically, he said the ruling party has delivered good governance to Nigerians.

Bello stated:

"Largely, APC has performed beyond what PDP has achieved in their 16 years of governance in Nigeria. APC’s successes today within six years outweigh the successes of 16 years that they ruled. The statistics are there. We will remind Nigerians of where APC inherited Nigeria and where we are today.”

Meanwhile, a former member of the National Assembly, Senator Dino Melaye has thrown a jibe at Governor Bello, his political archrival, saying he cannot be Nigeria’s president.
