Former Manchester United striker Odion Ighalo is the latest Nigerian footballer to visit Kogi State governor Yahaya Bello at his Abuja residence.

 

 

 

News Rain Nigeria reports that Ighalo’s visit is coming a few days after former Super Eagles captain Mikel Obi and then Kelechi Iheanacho met the politician.

The Al-Shabab striker, in his address, called Bello a bridge builder, adding that his leadership style is a source of hope to Nigerian youths.

The 32-year-old, who is currently on the verge of divorce from his wife, thanked the Governor for the reception he gave to former Nigerian players in March while urging other state Governors to emulate the leadership qualities of Bello.

Ighalo’s statement echoes that of Mikel, who also said in his address that there’s no one better to lead Nigerian youths than Bello.

It’s no longer a secret that the Kogi state governor is interested in contesting for Nigeria’s presidency at the 2023 general elections, and he’s been seeking the support of prominent Nigerian youths to help his mission.
